Download or read book Sex Segregation in Librarianship written by Betty Jo Irvine and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1985-06-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incisive work is a detailed examination of intraoccupational sex segregation in librarianship. Irvine examines the demographic and career characteristics of male and female library administrators. She explores why women have struggled so long for the status and recognition so easily achieved by their male counterparts. Included are data on the educational and occupational achievements of parents and spouses, the educational background of male and female librarians, and their professional affiliations and activities. Their career history is considered with regard to mobility patterns, middle management and executive positions, and mentorship and role models. The author also examines related research on women and men in higher education and corporate management. Irvine concludes that historically the role models for managerial positions have not favored women but that a significant change has occurred during the last decade.

Book excerpt: As with its four predecessors, the 1990-2002 compilation of On Account of Sex: An Annotated Bibliography on the Status of Women in Librarianship continues the commitment of ALA's Committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship to identify published materials on the status of women in the profession and to compile, update and issue a bibliography of these materials on a regular basis. This comprehensive and substantially annotated bibliography includes materials published in the library and information science literature as well as the literature of related fields (i.e., social sciences, management, higher education, and women's studies). Some of the topics covered are career development for women; salary and compensation; sex discrimination; equal stratification in the field; and the history of women in the profession. Pertinent materials from the growing body of gender and feminist studies in the scholarly literature of librarianship and related fields are indexed. Relevant statistical compilations, such as ARL Salary Surveys, which examine gender as a variable are covered. Books, articles, essays, government documents, ERIC documents, dissertations, conference reports, and pamphlets, as well as some non-print materials and electronic documents are included. The book has a broad subject arrangement, and entries within are arranged chronologically. Each annotation provides the researcher with sufficient information about the source to make a decision on its usefulness and applicability.

Download or read book Ambition Discrimination and Censorship in Libraries written by Jefferson P. Selth and published by Jefferson, N.C. : McFarland. This book was released on 1993 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Selth began with an interesting discovery: librarianship seems to have fostered a gender-based personnel pattern that is very different from the rest of society. Women librarians were ambitiously seeking library management positions, while most of their male counterparts were not. His observations led to a broad demographic survey of the profession, fully exploring the question of gender and ambition.These eight essays are based on this wide ranging survey and his personal observations after 30 years in the profession. The survey results show what kinds of librarians are eager to climb the managerial ladder and why. Important and surprising facts are revealed about the barriers that still impede many librarians, ranging from race and gender through obesity to family. Included are the author's experiences in the fight against censorship, the development of book and film collections, and attending conferences on a shoestring budget.
