Abstract

This article reports the results of a survey that asked aca demic business librarians about their educational back ground and work experience. Results show that while there is a broad range of college majors and minors, about 40% of the respondents majored in either history or En glish, 28% have a second master's degree, and 3.7% hold a doctorate. In the area of work experience, most business librarians began work as general reference or social science reference librarians and, after several years, developed ex pertise in the business area. While most respondents be came business librarians by accident, over half indicated a desire to make a career of business librarianship.
