-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Academic/research librarians survey results published Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:24:37 -0500 From: Todd Gilman <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] [with apologies for cross-posting] Dear Colleagues, In September 2006, we invited librarians on this list who were working in academic/research libraries and hold a doctorate in a discipline other than LIS to participate in an online survey. Many survey respondents requested that we post information about the article's publication back to the listserv. We are pleased to say that the article appeared this month: "Academic/Research Librarians with Subject Doctorates: Data and Trends 19652006." portal: Libraries and the Academy 8, no. 1 (January 2008): 31-52. Those whose institutions subscribe to portal can access the article here: HTML: http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/portal_libraries_and_the_academy/v008/8.1lindquist.html PDF: http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/portal_libraries_and_the_academy/v008/8.1lindquist.pdf This article focuses upon survey respondents' demographic profile, educational background, paths into librarianship, and range of positions currently held. We plan a follow-up piece concentrating on their experiences in the workplace and views about the advantages and disadvantages of academic librarianship as a career. Many thanks to everyone who responded to our survey! The data we gathered allowed us to write the first in-depth article on academic librarians with subject doctorates based on their own experiences. Best wishes, Todd Gilman, Librarian for Literature in English, Yale University Library & Thea Lindquist, History and Germanic Language and Literature Librarian, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries
