<p class="MsoNormal">I am finishing up the Web Design/Information Management Certificate at Wayne State this semester. When I am done I will have a basic understanding of html, css, php, java script and some other scripting languages. I think it is fabulous
to obtain these skills, but I am not sure how practical they will be in my upcoming positions. What Wayne State focuses on is the actual coding itself. If I were to create a library website by hand/scratch, this would be an invaluable skill. However, every
library I have worked at has used an editor to create their website. There really isn't a need to keep reinventing the wheel. So I am guessing I will ultimately be using an editor too some day, if web design is a part of my future job at all. I am glad I learned
scripting languages though...but how relevant will it be for my job and how long will the skills I have learned remain relevant? I don't know...<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I am currently signed up to take my summer semester classes, which would finish off my MLIS degree if I stopped there. My questions are: do you have certificates with your degree, do you or did you have much
experience before-hand, and does your library look at certificates OR experience more when it comes to hiring?<br>
<br>
I am an online student at Wayne State University. The two certificates I was planning on getting are
<a name="1440944e01d00604_22869"><b>{Library Services to Children and Adults, </b>
</a><b>Public}</b> and <strong>{I<a name="1440944e01d00604_22850">nformation Management for Librarians</a>-Web Design and Development}</strong>. Each certificate is basically (one semester) 4 months of effort and $4,400- is it worth it? I would love to be a
Teen Librarian in a public library with some web elements. <br>
<br>
If you wouldn't mind adding your position/Title with your comments, please do. Any recommendations would be very helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
