Dear Mr. Gottschalk:
There is so much that isn't covered in the courses in library school
that it seems an egregious excess for you to consider writing an M.A.
thesis for your degree. If you were in a Ph.D. program that would be
another thing altogether, but for the M.L.S., you should concentrate on
your courses, and raise questions about doing budgets, and working with
real vendors, and other questions/issues that aren't being covered in
your courses, but which you will certainly encounter once you begin
working.
