Thank you for the information! I think it is hard to do a PhD program completely online and the ones I looked at in your links are good for 100% online master's degrees. But, it's got me thinking about other possibilities. Linda Lyshol, MLIS, MPA Library Director, Branch District Library 10 E.

OK, some of my staff are going to laugh when they see that I have asked this question, but here goes: Is there such an animal as a 100% online PhD in Library Science? Along with this: is there such an animal as a 100% online PhD in any field of study? Are there any PhDs in Library Science in Michigan working at a public library?

Thanks!
