I'm considering the Masters in Library Science program at Keller Grad School - online. This distance learning is all new to my fiance and I - any feedback, suggestions, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
There are quite a few library science programs available through dl, which you might want to consider before making a final decision.
My librarian friends say that if it's not accredited by the American Library Association, don't do it. Most decent librarian jobs require that. -=Steve=-
If you find that Keller does not meet your needs, and you're looking for a DL MLS program from a very good school, consider this program from Southern Connecticut State University: http://w3.sysoff.ctstateu.edu/put/ocsu.nsf/2fa0fb6cd74e3cc585256b74004945ee/c4107f22e8b0384685256b8400692ca2?OpenDocument RA and ALA accredited. Good Luck!
I would, as a librarian, go with ALA accreditation. Go to www.ala.org and look up the schools. Two in which I have attended are: www.unt.edu www.nccu.edu Both DL and ALA accredited.

I don't see from the devry website that Keller Grad School offers an MLS. I am a librarian and I can't recommend getting an MLS (or whatver the acronym of the day is -mine is an MS LIS) from a school that is not accredited by the ALA. Search the ALA site mentioned above any you will find quite a few fully distance learning Masters degrees in Library Science. Bear in mind the pay generally sucks. Though it can be a quite rewarding profession I'm told.
