Re: [LM_NET] Oversupply of School Librarians

[Ellen Nosal <enosal@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

A public "thank you" to all the LM_NETers who replied to my comments about an 
oversupply of librarians.  From their comments, I concluded that the issue is not 
only regional, but it is very much dependent on whether or not states/districts 
require certified people in their libraries.  Some pointed out the importance of 
the willingness to relocate.  Still others mentioned the flexibility to investigate 
other fields of librarianship, and the related importance of taking a the broadest 
spectrum of classes in graduate school.  One unanimous sentiment is that this is a 
challenging and rewarding profession, despite frustrations in the job market.
