An article on the increasing diversity of people seeking their Masters of Library and Information Science (MLIS) caught my eye, as it reminds me of something I have encountered over and over again in my library experiences: the wider range of experiences you have among those working in a library (from Directors to Pages to Volunteers) the better.
There is so much more to draw upon from people’s knowledge when you are seeking information, or planning a program, or selecting materials, etc. It sometimes manifests itself in small, quirky ways, but the broader the range of experience, the more likely you are to be a well-rounded organization.
