Question
Sir
I have done m.Lib & Information Science. should i do mba in library science is it beneficial in career plz guide me

Answer
Jaya:
To my knowledge, there is nowhere where you can do an MBA in library science, but I am in the United States, and perhaps where you live, it is possible. My answer to your question is that if you are planning to go into academic librarianship working for a business school, or you wish to go into library management, or work as a corporate librarian, it would make sense to get your MBA. Otherwise, it would not.
