Is this the end (of the MLS)?

The CAS requires a Masters degree, and though that could be a masters in something else (computer science, for example) it’Äôs most likely to be an MLS. 
The CLIR seminar is a model of library education for people who are already working in libraries, but haven’Äôt had the MLS.  These people are more likely to see the value of that degree with this seminar than without it.
