Dear Ms. Suman, What you r trying to indicate is true. Also, are payscals related to degree? or seniority? there are no set rules on this. In my case, I have done B.L.I.Sc. after 14 yrs of my earlier M.A. I did this degree in 1992. Despite having one degree of masters, I am always in dilemma if I will need to do my M.Lib. at some point of time? Does M.A.+Blisc lead to equal opportunities & financial returns? or M.lib. helps even for more & better job opportunities? Also we don't have many opportunities to get trained for digitization's, etc due to job & home pressures, since all these seminars are outstation, full day and so on & so forth. If they are scheduled part time/evenings many of us can benefit. regards, Mrs. Vaishnav (Consulting Librarian-Godrej) Mumbai Dear Ms. Suman, What you r trying to indicate is true.
