----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The following information comes from the ***1990*** ARLIS /NA Salary Survey. Note the date!!! Salary by Region Table 2.1.2.D page 7 "Primarily Visual Collections" (I am reporting median salary only) South $27,000 Midwest 27,399 Nowtheast 30,000 West 31,000 Table 2.1.3.D. Salary by parent institution primarily visual collections, page 9 Academic 29,873 Art and Design 25,833 Museum 29,873 Table 2.2.1.D. Salary by highest library degree primarily visual collections, page 11 None 26,888 Masters 31,000 Table 2.2.2.F. Salary by highest arts degree primarily visual collections, page 14 None 29,639 Bachelors 30,887 Masters 29,200 "An odd negative effect of the arts Masters may also be seen in visual resources collections." I checked the most recent "Occupational Outlook Handbook" and compared it with the 1990 issue. Taking average starting salaries for librarians as the only point at which I could compare apples to apples, salaries have increased 20% during the time period between 1990 and 1998. Hope this helps.
