Sloan <[log in to unmask]> Well, one reason why "a Bachelors would not suffice" is because the American Library Association says so. See the following: Q: What is the appropriate degree to be a professional librarian? A: ALA policy 54.2 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."
