The 2016 graduate of the Master of Library and Information Science program at San Jose State University appreciated being able to pursue her degree online. "The beautiful thing is there is a lot of support," says Akiliah Manual Mills. She also loved that her professors were working in the field and believed it made them more trustworthy because they were teaching from a position of authority. The career changer was "independent" and needed to shift to a collaborative culture in librarianship, which she says has served her well.
