Indiana University has a dual degree program in art librarianship which
includes work with Eileeen Fry, Slide Librarian. We also have an Art
Library Specialization program which includes the same type of vr
experience with one of the national leaders in the VR profession, Eileen
Fry. I believe our program which I established in 1985/86 is the oldest
ongoing specialization in the art librarianship and has always included
vr preparation. bj

Subject: [ARLIS-L] What are Visual Resources Librarian qualifications
and preparation?
What are the qualifications expected/required today for someone who
wants to go into visual resources librarianship? M.A. Art History?
M.L.S.?
Also, are there any "Library Schools" that are particularly good for
such preparation?
Thank you,
