@PamD@Antiqueight Do either of you have access to The Library Association Record for 1944? The snippet view on Google mentions her death and also suggests she was a Fellow of the Library Association. But I can't see enough to be categoric about this or when she became a Fellow. Nthep (talk) 15:44, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nthep: Sorry, no, I'm retired and living out in the sticks. Someone with access to the University archives/special collections would be able to check the 1919 University Calendar or equivalent, which would presumably have her listed with her postnominals. PamD 16:44, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't either - I'll see if I can find another angle to view but no, I can't access this itself. @Megalibrarygirl: - suddenly thought you might have access to something like this. Oooh- think I have it here but I don't know the topic well enough to confirm..[1] ☕ Antiqueight chatter 17:54, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Megalibrarygirl, Nthep, and Antiqueight: the CILIP article needs to have a bit more about the old LA qualifications, as ALA and FLA weren't explained at all until I added something rudimentary just now. There's not a lot about the LA at all, surely a strange omission given how many librarians seem to edit Wikipedia! PamD 00:03, 9 December 2021 (UTC) (ALA until I stopped paying the subs on early-retirement)[reply]
@PamD, Nthep, and Antiqueight: I'm finding some hits for the Library Record, but it's for an English org, not the ALA. I agree that the lack of librarian stuff on Wikipedia is always shocking! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 01:22, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Megalibrarygirl: Scope for some confusion here. The Library Association Record was the journal of the Library Association, the UK organisation which offered qualifications of ALA (Associate of the..) and FLA (Fellow ...) (merged to form CILIP), not to be confused with the American Library Association or ALA. PamD 08:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@PamD: maybe Ritchie333 from the UK might have access. Their library systems seem amazing. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:59, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
