Interviews with library professionals, plus a telephone survey of 400 librarians (100 each White, Black, Latino, and Asian), revealed fewer occupational opportunities for minorities. Discussion includes diversifying collections; discordant views of racism among Whites and minorities; percentages of minority library school graduates; initiative programs; and barriers in academic librarianship.
