Dear Colleagues,
In September 2006, we invited librarians on this list who were working
in academic/research libraries and hold a doctorate in a discipline
other than LIS to participate in an online survey.
Many survey respondents requested that we post information about the
article's publication back to the listserv. We are pleased to report
that the second of two articles appeared in the current issue of the
journal portal: Libraries and the Academy.
As some of you will recall, the first article focused upon survey
respondents' demographic profile, educational background, paths into
librarianship, and range of positions currently held.
The current follow-up piece concentrates on their experiences in the
workplace and views about the advantages and disadvantages of academic
librarianship as a career:
"Academic/Research Librarians with Subject Doctorates: Experiences and
Perceptions, 1965-2006." portal: Libraries and the Academy 10, no. 4
(October 2010): 399-412.

Additionally, for those who missed the first article, here's the citation:
"Academic/Research Librarians with Subject Doctorates: Data and Trends
1965-2006." portal: Libraries and the Academy 8, no. 1 (January 2008):
31-52.

Many thanks to everyone who responded to our survey! The data we
gathered allowed us to write the first two in-depth articles on
academic librarians with subject doctorates based on their own
experiences.
