[CALIBK12] Fresno Pacific University starts second online cohort

Fri Aug 22 22:32:36 PDT 2008

If programs are being promoted, then it needs to be said 
that CSULB's librarianship program also provides for an 
online option for the Teacher Librarian services 
credential. This program, which was established in 1968, 
offers both a credential and a Master's in Education, 
Option in Librarianship. The program is NCATE-accredited, 
and offers both F2F and online options at the same, low 
price. The program's graduates are well placed in school 
and public library settings, and many hold leadership 
roles in professional organizations.
Dr. Lesley Farmer, Coordinator
