Recruitment of Librarians into the Profession: The Minority Perspective.

Abstract

Minority librarians (African-American, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American) were surveyed to ascertain the factors that influenced them to choose a career in librarianship, and to receive input from them about the recruiting techniques that would be the most effective in attracting ethnic librarians to the field.Findings reveal that respondents, like librarians in the field overall, are a female-dominated group. The large majority have an MLS degree from an ALA-accredited school; close to half of them are employed in academic libraries
