"As a career-changer and library school student very near completion ...I am
wondering whether there is a particular need for art librarians? Is there a
particular shortage, or are you just anticipating the general shortage of
librarians within the next ten years, as many of the boomer library
professionals retire?"
Coincidence! I am also about to finish the MLIS degree at Kent State. I was
just about to write and ask about the importance of getting a second master's
degree in Art History. Is it crucial? Could I get started at an art library
without it? Would it matter if I had a degree in Studio Art instead of Art
History?
I'm interested to hear what everyone has to say regarding Vicki's questions
and hope that you can answer mine as well.
