MLIS and Teacher Librarian Services Credential Handbook
Status Update - April 2008
The California Library Media Teacher (LMT) credential is now the Teacher Librarian Services Credential. SLIS has also added new MLIS requirements in the past year for incoming students, including LIBR 203 and LIBR 285, and some of the courses and course numbering have changed for the youth services courses.
Note: The Handbook pages for the Teacher Librarian Services Credential are being updated to reflect these changes. New pages will be posted in early May.
However, the courses required for students pursuing the MLIS and / or the credential depend on the date when the student was admitted to SLIS, so requirements will remain consistent with the requirements posted at date of entry.
Please contact Dr. Fuller if you have specific questions.
