I would suggest an MLIS as well - The MLIS program at Drexel University (On-Line)is worth looking at. Plenty of classes available on Archiving, Digital Preservation, Database development, new technologies, virtualization, management of electronic resources, Web 2.0, XML, just about anything you are interested in. When I left libraries behind and entered the museum world I was amazed at how well the courses I took I at Drexel prepared me for this position.

I've considered a Masters in Museum Studies but the curriculum seems too broad. I'm a Registrar and I'm particularly interested in digital image standards, rotational photography, online databases, virtualization, etc.. We have IT staff at my current institution but I'd like to try to keep up. I know enough to be dangerous, but that's about it! Is anyone aware of a program that merges technology and the arts or humanities? Or is there a straight technology degree or certificate that you would recommend instead? An online degree or one offered in Wisconsin would be particularly helpful. Thank you for your input.
