The Changing Profile of University Library Directors, 1966-1981.

Karr, Ronald Dale

College and Research Libraries, v45 n4 p282-86 Jul 1984

This comparison of characteristics of directors of Association of Research Libraries' member libraries in 1966 and 1981 indicates that, in both years, directors were predominantly middle-aged male graduates of liberal arts programs. Significant differences were observed in directors' regions of origin, library education, additional graduate degrees, and career patterns. (EJS)
