Hi all! This might sound kind of awful, but I'm looking for the fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to get an MLS. I already work in reference at a public library, and the head of our library described the degree as a "hoop to jump through". Most have gone through online programs, and I would also like to do that, but would like to do it as cheaply as possible so I can be a "real" librarian (and get paid more). I have asked some of my colleagues their advice, but was wondering if any of y'all have any ideas.
