If you would like to volunteer to host your school's table, please contact Kris Alpi . At the conclusion of the Contributed Papers session, we will adjourn for a social hour at the LIS Schools Reunion, sponsored by the Medical Library Education Section with the generous support of several donors. Compare MLA's credentialing process to those of other professional associations with credentialing programs.
Most associations have a defined knowledge domain associated with their credentialing program.
The majority have a certification exam and a requirement for a portfolio. Most require continuing education for renewal. The average renewal cycle is approximately three years. Per year cost for renewal is approximately three years. One barrier to moving MLA's credentialing process to an all-electronic one is the current requirement for supporting documentation.
