ASPeN - Using a recent college degree to claim Montana State Library certification
Recent graduates of MIS or MLIS programs are eligible for a Library Administrator Track certificate from the MT State Library. To claim that certificate, librarians should:
- Login to ASPeN, and follow the directions found in the Help section for "ASPeN - Getting Started with Continuing Education" to create an Initial Library Administrator Track Participation
- Send an electronic copy of your recent diploma to the CE Coordinator at the MT State Library
- Follow the directions in ASPeN help for Applying or Renewing Certification in ASPeN.
The CE Coordinator will review and file an e-copy your diploma, record the relevant information into ASPeN about your degree and issue your certificate. A new participation track will be created for you to begin to collect credits toward your renewal.
Certificates awarded this way are issued as of the date of graduation, and renewal is due 4 years hence from graduation.
