Dear Erin,

I was in your place a few years ago.  I ended up
getting my masters in Library and Information Science
with an emphasis in archives last May.  I think it was
a good choice.  I currently work in reference in an
academic library, but prior to that I was an archival
assistant in a literary and photography collection.  I
am planning to start a second masters in art history
this fall and I hope to eventually find work in an art
related archives or academic art library.  I enjoy
research and even helping students with non-art
questions, but I feel working in a art archives or
library setting would be really gratifying.

Good luck.

- Emily
