We require an ALA-accredited MLS for all librarian positions.  Last
year, we had a librarian with an MLS from an Indian library school
apply.  Since ALA only accredits library schools in the United States
and Canada, we weren't sure whether we should accept her application.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?  If so, how did your library
handle it?  We are trying to develop a policy for such cases. Your
thoughts, insights, etc. would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Jenifer Holman
