Library Students discussion

What MLS programs are you all studying and what type of library are you planning to work at?

I'm in the MLS program at University of North Texas and I'm also getting a Master's Certificate in Management. My focus is Academic libraries, but I'm trying to leave as many doors open as possible.

Hello. I'm just starting in the MLiS program at the University of Rhode Island. I think I want to focus on academic librarianship, but I'm just starting out, so we'll see! ~Lauren

I'm also just starting out in the MLIS program at San Jose State and I'm undecided about my direction. What will the economy be like by the time I graduate? What will be the status of libraries? It's all so hard to predict. My networking contacts are in public libraries where they currently have a hiring freeze. I can see myself as a public librarian, but I can also see myself as a librarian at a law firm. Then there's a part of me that wants to be a cataloging theorist writing books about cataloging. Another part of me wants to write about library history. I love history so I could be an archivist. I think I'll keep my options open for now.
