They Say What They Say

I go this email from my course coordinator today and it made me unaccountably happy:

Hi [Laylee's real name],

Just checking your student record on Callista. When you complete IMS5033 you will have met the requirements for recognition by both ALIA and also RMAA/ASA. You will have MIMS specialisations in KM and ERA, as well as your prior qualification in the LIS area.

Kind regards,

[Laylee's course coordinator]

Woot! What it all means is that I don't have to do another round of professional practice like I thought I would have to to be eligible for RMAA (Records Management Association of Australia) and ASA {Australian Society of Archivists) accreditation.

This is very good news because I was worried that, although I'd received an exemption for professional practice when I started this thing, I might have to do another round for the RMAA/ASA qualification which would probably draw it out yet another three months. I already have ALIA (Australian Library and Information Association) accreditation from my LIS degree, but this means that I am nearly almost even more ridiculously over-qualified than I was before. And the best thing is, I don't even have to join any of these groups (and thus save myself several hundred dollars in membership fees) I just need to be able to say that I'm eligible for professional recognition by one or more of them when I apply for jobs.

Woot!

I've been trawling around youtube in an effort to amuse myself and found this little gem when searching for wee!Josh.

This is for phoebesmum as an aplogy for the Bruce thing earlier.
