| contents | Supply and Demand Analysis of Manpower Trends in the Library and Information Field. Final Report. Bolino, August C. Labor Needs Librarians Professional Personnel Public Libraries Salary Wage Differentials School Libraries Special Libraries Statistical Analysis Library manpower data are analyzed under five main headings: (1) employment trends, (2) expenditures, (3) salaries, (4) placements and (5) conditions of supply. The detailed, cross-section, statistical analysis focuses on the specific category of professional academic librarians. Analysis of the five main areas revealed: (1) professional employment in college and university libraries showed the fastest gain; (2) there is a heterogeneity between public and public school librarians and academic librarians; that is, there is a one-way mobility; (3) salary components of the total academic library expenditures are declining while the book share is rising; (4) the Federal share of library materials is a significant percentage of the total; (5) the number of special libraries has grown most rapidly since 1945; (6) librarians' starting salaries are lower than most other professionals; (7) salaries of academic and special librarians are higher than those of public or school librarians; (8) the number of library science degrees has tripled since 1960; (9) the number of junior college library programs has grown rapidly and (10) librarian shortages are based on the number desired; if they were based on sources of supply and effective demand, the shortages would be small.
