Hi Helen--
The MLIS was not part of any required criteria that I recall; that topic was
specifically addressed by Athenian's librarian who discussed BAISL's welcome
inclusion of people irrespective of that benchmark.
I'm sorry you weren't there too and would have liked to have heard your
thoughts. It was a fine meeting.

Too bad that I was not able to attend what might be voted as my last meeting.
Sadly, although I have fourteen years experience as "librarian" and over
three decades in the classroom, as a reading consultant and as an
administrator, I don't seem to qualify for Baisl membership if a MLIS
credential is your guiding light.

Our recent meeting featured a large group discussion regarding the parameters
of our membership. Near the conclusion, a suggestion was made to specifically
include library advocates and library students among those eligible for BAISL
membership, based on the plurality of our current membership, the schools we
serve, and our historical inclusivity. It is likely that an online (Yes! A
virtual ballot that will enable all members to participate!) will be
forthcoming regarding this topic. Robust discussion is helpful. Please read a
summary of the discussion and participate at the link to our private forum
listed below:
Should BAISL revise its bylaws and mission statement to specifically include
library advocates and library students, as well as librarians, as eligible
members of BAISL?
