I’m looking into getting my MLIS/MLS. Does anyone have any recommendations for online programs geared towards law libraries? I’ve been digging around on the ALA website and looking at school websites but 1) there’s a lot of info to digest and 2) I’m not seeing much on law libraries even in the programs supposedly geared towards that. Any insight? Thanks!

iSchool at the University of Washington comes to mind. Aside from that, and maybe a few others that I'm not aware of, there's not much out there in the way of legal librarianship programs unfortunately. It's worth it to look into Legal Research certificates from institutions such as Penn Foster or Lexis Nexis. Joining AALL will also be a great way to find resources/learning materials, while also networking with professionals in the field.

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!
