[Conservation DistList Instance: 10:88] contained yet another
posting for a conservator position stating "Preference... given to
candidates with an ... MLS degree." Why? What is the point? Would
not a post-baccalaureate degree in (say) materials science, or
organic chemistry... or mycology, be more relevant? Perhaps someone
privy to the rationale will enlighten me. I do not understand the
mystique of the MLS: My MA is from UChicago GLS+
