[Asis-l] TODAY @noon: Online MLIS - virtual open house

[Cunningham, Flo]

Earn your master's degree without disrupting your life, without leaving your current job and relocating, and without physically sitting in a classroom.

The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Kent State University is offering a new, innovative way to complete a Master of Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) degree: eDegree.

The eDegree option is Web-based -- all courses will be completed online. And you can specialize in more than a dozen different areas of library and information science, including youth librarianship, museum studies, academic librarianship, cataloging/metadata, digital preservation, and more.

Join us for a live, interactive online open house TODAY at noon (Eastern time) to learn more about the eDegree option. SLIS Associate Professor Greg Byerly, Ph.D., will briefly describe the program and then answer your questions. You'll also hear from current eDegree student Tina Lewis, who is specializing in K-12 school library media services.

Click on the link below to join the webinar. During the open house, you may submit questions by clicking on the "word bubble" icon at the bottom of your screen. The presenters will answer as many questions as they can during the one-hour open house.
