Reminder: Panel about Continued Education past the MLS!

  • 1.  Reminder: Panel about Continued Education past the MLS!

    Posted an hour ago
    The Beta Beta Pi group of Beta Phi Mu at the University of Central Missouri is hosting a panel about continued education past the MLS on May 16th at 11 am.
    Although the MLS is often considered the terminal degree in the field, many professionals choose to pursue additional formal education to expand their expertise, advance into leadership roles, or specialize in emerging areas of librarianship. Five panel participants will share their experiences and what led them to continue their education past the MLS.
