[ARSCLIST] Foreign Credential question

[Adam Girard <adamgirard@xxxxxx>]

Has anybody here had experience applying for jobs with Foreign 
Credentials within the US?

The policy of the American Library Association (ALA) states:

"The master's degree from a program accredited by the American Library 
Association (or from a master's level program in library and 
information studies accredited or recognized by the appropriate 
national body of another country) is the appropriate professional 
degree for librarians."

Obviously this means that it is up to the employer to decide if an 
applicant is qualified. Does anybody have personal experience about 
what that means in practice?


Thank you for your reply,

Adam Girard
