The Systems Librarian in U.S. Academic Libraries: A Survey of Announcements from "College & Research Libraries News," 1990-1994.
Foote, Margaret
College & Research Libraries, v58 n6 p517-26 Nov 1997
A study of 107 academic library position announcements (1990-94) for systems librarians analyzed position titles, responsibilities, degree requirements, required skills, reporting lines, and salaries. The study concluded that systems responsibilities change constantly, that interpersonal skills are essential, and that 38% of the examined position announcements lacked a Master's of Library Science (MLS) requirement.
