    Does anyone have a list for 100 percent online MLS, MLIS, etc. degree programs (i.e., in library and information studies)? I've found a lot of programs that are online but require a couple days on campus--I'm wanting totally online.

    Thanks!

    Hi Lesann,

    As you may or may not know, in the U.S. it's very important to obtain an MLS/MLIS from a school that is accredited by the ALA (American Library Association). The following list was culled from the ALA.org search page (as such, all are ALA accredited and offer DL MLS/MLIS Degrees):

    1. Clarion University of Pennsylvania
    2. Drexel University
    3. Florida State University
    4. North Carolina Central University
    5. Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
    6. San Jose State University
    7. Southern Connecticut State University
    8. Texas Woman's University (Conditional)
    9. The University of Southern Mississippi
    10. University of Alabama
    11. University of Puerto Rico
    12. University of Tennessee
    13. University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

    The list is not perfect, as you will notice a couple of the programs do require a day or two on campus, but it's a good starting point.

    BTW, there is a wealth of information regarding Library education on the ALA.org website. Just click the Education and Careers link at the top of the page.

    Good Luck!
    Tom
