Do not forget that many museums have a library and archives, which require
people with library degrees and museum experience to run.

I haven't seen anyone weigh in much on this...I would say that library and
museum work are very different, and most likely you would not be considered
for a museum position with an MLIS without experience in museums. You
would have too much competition from people with museum/public history
degrees. And I suppose you also need to consider what aspect of work you're
interested in...admin, curatorial, registration, education? I fear your
professors gave you misinformation...it's really two different worlds. JMO.
Any other thoughts out there? I think this is an important question.
