- Title

- Authors
Lindquist, Thea; Gilman, Todd
- Abstract
The article presents a study on academic/research librarians with subject doctorates. Although recruitment of academic/research librarians with subject doctorates are progressing, there is a lack of research on the trends and backgrounds of these librarians. The article uses a survey on doctoral degree holders who are working in the U. S. and Canada. Results showed that there are more male degree holders than females while the average age of respondents was fifty years old. The study also makes the prediction that the librarians will be retiring in 2010.
