I am curious what ARLIS members think about the field of visual studies and its relationship to art history. More specifically, do you see graduate programs in visual studies as providing a valuable degree in terms of art librarianship? Or do you feel that a master's degree in art history is the (only) way to go? What future do you see for information professionals working with both types of programs? I gather there is some debate in academic circles whether visual studies will become an umbrella-like discipline encompassing art history, popular culture, etc. (it looks as if a few programs in the UK are going this route) or if art history will maintain itself as a separate discipline, aided by its own traditions and history. For examples of visual studies programs, see: Visual and Cultural Studies at the University of Rochester: http://www.rochester.edu/College/AAH/VCS/ Visual and Critical Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago: http://www.artic.edu/saic/programs/degrees/graduate/mavcs.html You might notice that besides just being curious, I am looking for some advice on future career and education choices.
