Breaking Down the Stereotype: An Update of the Vocational Interests of Library/Information Professionals.

Scherdin, Mary Jane

Library and Information Science Research, v14 n2 p183-202 Apr-Jun 1992

Vocational interests of librarians and information scientists were studied using the American College Testing (ACT) Interest Inventory and a job activity questionnaire. A significant difference was found between the past and present placement of libraries on the ACT World-of-Work Map, but the ACT indicated that the two groups share essentially similar vocational interests.
