Librarians thread! WOOHOO!!!!

I am in my fourth week as a MLIS student at the University of South Carolina School of Library and Information Science. Right now, the only thing I am sure of is that I don't want to be a media specialist (fancy words for school librarian). I worked in a public library for a year and now I work at a medical school library (does that count as academic or special?). So far I haven't know of anyone who hasn't called themselves those fancy terms, but I think librarian is fine.

I'm likely starting library school in the fall, as well as one of my sisters I was initiated with.

A medical school library would count as special.


Wow. I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. I have my MLS. Got it in 2005. I worked as a media coordinator at an elementary school and a high school. Now I'm in law school.

Bumping this back up because I finally made the decision to get into grad school for library science. I worked in Government Documents in undergrad.
