ALA Announces approval of LSSC

This news comes from: http://www.ala.org/ala/newspresscenter/news/pressreleases2009/july2009/lssc_apa.cfm

Just what is LSSC?  Library Support Staff Certification.

You can find more information here: http://www.ala-apa.org/lsscp/

But the main idea is that the ALA has found that 69% of library workers do not hold a MLS, and would like to “standardize expectations for LSS”.

What do you think?  Should the LSSC make its way to Canada soon?  Should we leave well enough alone?
