I went to school years ago and got my bachelors in Library and Information Science. Im talking ten or more years. When I graduated in 2010, I was intimidated by grad school and bounced around jobs and went into a whole different field of school for a couple years. I’m now looking to get back into trying to get into grad school. My gpa wasn’t the greatest (2.9). I did take the GRE a few years ago but bombed greatly, since I do terrible on standardized testing.

Since it’s been years since I’ve done any sort of library stuff, i want to try to read up on the field again. My schooling for the program was kind of mixed and I probably didn’t get the greatest of an education. What kind of books should i get to catch up? One of my former classmates recommended an RDA book, but I don’t have any other recommendations.

Also, I’ll probably have to retake the GRE because of my gpa as an undergrad. Does anyone have any advice for that?
