<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know whether or not SAA, or any other
professional organization, has taken an official position on what constitutes a
“terminal degree” in the archival profession? For example, ACRL
has determined that an MLS from an ALA accredited institution is a terminal
degree for librarians. Thanks! --Marcus<o:p></o:p></p>
