The Men among Us
Gordon, Rachel Singer
Library Journal, v129 n11 p49 Jun 2004
Male NextGen Librarians remain a rare breed. In fact, 82 percent of librarians are female, according to 2002 U.S. Statistical Abstract figures, and 21 percent of 2002 LIS grads were male, according to "Salaries Stalled, Jobs Tight." The author decided to get to know some of the men who make up this minority. Fifty-one younger male new librarians shared their stories. This article contains a brief analysis of the stories shared.
