Okay, I'm confused. Is the position for the library or for a professorship. If its a library position, then I don't know enough about that system to comment, but if its for a professorship then it has nothing to do with anyone looking down on MLS degrees and everything to do with university politics. As someone above pointed out, you have to have at least a postdoctoral degree to be considered a full faculty member at every single university I've ever been involved with, those professors who teach with only MS or MAs are only considered 'adjunct' and are almost always part-time.
That's why they tell you to get your doctorate if you're planning a career in academics. No one will take you seriously otherwise.
