Sara,

Although I can't offer any advise on the Library and Info Science aspect of your questions, I can tell you about the museum studies program I completed.  I am also completing my master's degree soon (in Anthropology though) and while pursuing this degree I went thru the Museum Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  Although you receive a certificate in the mus studies when done rather than a masters degree, you gain a lot of valuable knowledge about museums and their processes.  Also, you mentioned considering a public history masters degree.  My museum classes were about half anthro students and half history/public history students.  Most of the history students I knew from my class are now working in museums (I had to stay back in school to finish a masters thesis, something not required by the history program here at UWM).  So if considering a public history degree with a museum emphasis, I would look into UWM's masters history and museum studies programs.  The

 If you have any questions about it you can contact me at this email or at [log in to unmask] where I check my email more often.  Take care and good luck.
