A Professional Photo of Academic Business Librarians Worldwide

Abstract

This article surveys academic business librarians throughout the world and explores similarities and differences among library managers and non-managers and U.S. and international librarians. Although the survey was originally designed to measure age and gender and ethnic diversity, it was expanded to include other demographic characteristic such as education and time in the field, current skills and future competencies, hiring patterns, and professional development. Survey results are compared with other existing demographic data and with previous surveys. Major results show that U.S. library managers are significantly older and more likely to be male than other groups in our survey.
