The Age Demographics of Academic Librarians: A Profession Apart
discusses the current demographics of librarianship in North
America and examines how a huge retiree rate will affect the
profession. With the average age of librarians increasing
dramatically since 1990, this book examines the changes that will
have to take place in your library, such as recruiting, training,
and working with a smaller staff. The Age Demographics of Academic
Librarians provides you with insights on how to make your library's
transition easier when several of your colleagues leave your
library. Valuable and intelligent, The Age Demographics of Academic
Librarians discusses trends through easy-to-read charts, tables,
and comprehensive data analysis.Exploring possible reasons for the
anomalies of this trend, this book explores several surprising
facts, such as: 16 percent of the 1995 American Research Libraries
population of librarians will retire by the year 2000, another 16
percent between 2000 and 2005, 24 percent between 2005 and 2010,
and 27 percent between 2010 and 2030, leaving the ARL lacking
seasoned librarians the number of ARL cataloging librarians are
decreasing, but the number of reference librarians seems to be
increasing 54 percent of all ARL librarians who have twenty or more
years of professional experience have worked at only one library in
the course of their careers Canadian ARL librarians are older than
their United States counterparts in 1990, 48 percent of ARL
librarians were 45 years old or older; in 1994, the number
increased to 58 percent The Age Demographics of Academic Librarians
provides you with valuable insight into the unusual shape and
movement of the academic librarian age profile as well as some
speculation on its possible effects so you can predict how it will
affect your library in the future and help you prepare to take
preventative actions.
