Do we need all those databases that librarians love?
Posted: August 3, 2009 Filed under: Academic Librarianship, ALA, ARLIS/NA, ArLiSNAP, Art Librarianship, Libraries: Academic Art & Architecture, Museum Librarianship, Suggestions for Categories, [ Libraries and Collections ] | Tags: Collection ideas Comments OffI am being asked daily if we want to renew databases that in the past it would have been unthinkable to cancel. Now, since I do most all of my own research on medieval pottery in Google et al., I tend to be discerning. For instance, what do you all think about finding auction sale prices? Can it be done in a webbed environment only? In other words, do we need to pay so many subscriptions? thanks, lucie

Katelyn Angell Questions the Need for Second Masters
Posted: May 13, 2009 Filed under: Advice: Students, ALA Comments OffAn interesting opinion article is in this month’s American Libraries.
Typically, employers expect potential hires to hold both an MLIS and an additional subject-specific master’s or PhD. Upon learning this daunting fact, two pressing questions immediately formed in my mind: How can people on a librarian’s salary afford to earn multiple graduate degrees, and why disregard strong undergraduate credentials or field experience?

While I’m sympathetic of Angell’s concerns (I have a similar experience), I also understand the need for having a very strong foundation when working in art libraries.
