These are the kind of postings that I find supremely frustrating!
I don't have a Master's in Library Science (or anything else!)...
but I do have an encyclopedic knowledge of the music and records
they would be dealing with! However, I don't have a nice piece
of embossed paper with a gold seal saying I do...

Course, I'm not planning to move to Tennessee anyway...
