Hello: I read that this is a moderated list now, so perhaps if this isn't
the right forum to this question it will get kicked back anyway, so I
thought I'd try.
I am new to this field -- so new that I don't enter my Master's program at
the University of Oklahoma until 2007 (long story, much ado, delaying
enrollment for a year).
To condense an exchange of e-mails basically my faculty advisor-to-be
advised me that if I intend to pursue the thesis option I should familiarize
myself with literature and do some reading to find out more about what a
thesis might consist of.
This was spawned from a question I had about whether or not the thesis
option is best for me since I have my sights set on a fine arts library at a
university.
To make a long story short, I have been lurking here and will continue to do
so to make sure this is what I really intend to do with a library degree.
However, I have no idea what a library thesis would even be about, much less
one specifically related to art libraries. I will try and make a trip
across the state to start looking at theses written by past master's
students at OU, but is there anywhere -- especially online, but even not
online -- where one could see a list of thesis titles and/or abstracts to
get an idea of what art librarians write theses and/or journal articles about?
I'm sure I will have many more questions as I go along. Again, if there is
a better forum than this listserv for more naive questions like this please
feel free to let me know.
Thank you!
George Gottschalk
