They were asked to describe the tasks they performed on their present and last held jobs, the percentage of time spent on each task, the degree to which their training had prepared them to perform that activity, their professional activities, and their salary. Results showed that while all groups of graduates were heavily engaged in traditional library activities, graduates of NLM-supported internship programs were significantly more involved with activities related to application of automatic data processing, computers and computer programing, library administration, and design implementation/preparation activities. They were also earning higher average salaries, were more apt to be working in a medical library, and were more likely to be involved in research or development activities. The findings suggested also that many graduates of library programs were having difficulty finding a job in a medical library. Survey questionnaires and data tables are included in appendixes.
