$20 million helps fund the next generation of librarians - Jarid Shipley, Nevada Appeal
The days of the musty oak chest containing the card catalogs are gone, replaced with Internet databases and a World Wide Web of information. Quickly disappearing as well are the overseers of the information.... "The program is designed to education librarians because there is an anticipated shortage. Many of the skilled librarians are expected to retire shortly, so we are trying to increase the numbers to replace them," said Sara Jones, state librarian. Through the program, 40 students from Western states will receive about $10,000 in tuition help to complete a distance-learning master's degree in Library Science from the University of North Texas. No schools in Nevada offer master's degrees in library science.
