Gary and others who aspire to study library
science:
Drexel University, which Judith Noble suggested,
has a history of maintaining internship programs.
This is true much more at the undergraduate level
than in the school of library and information
science, but helping finance your education through
an internship there or elesewhere may be a
possibility. While in Philadelphia, where I was a
law librarian for many years, I worked with John
Hall at Drexel to set up an internship where I was
raunning lthe library, so I know they've done it at
least once.
Another possibility is to find an employer, a
university with an accredited library school or a
private firm, that will grant tuition benefits, and
to work for them while getting your degree.
They're out there. I know because I work for one
-- BNA. Our tuition benefits have enabled many
employees to get law degrees, library science
degrees (American University is the accredited
library school in this area), MBA's and more. I
have made use of this benefit to study things I
didn't learn in library school in order to do
electronic product development.
Good luck,
