The Academic Elite in Library Science: Linkages among Top-Ranked Graduate Programs.

Bair, Jeffrey H.; Barrons, Janice C.

College & Research Libraries, v58 n3 p233-35 May 1997

An analysis of the faculty of the 10 top-ranked library science programs presented by "U. S. News & World Report" (March, 1996) indicated that 84 (59.2%) of the 142 faculty members had graduated from one of the top-ranked schools, suggesting that these programs maintain and enhance their reputations by hiring their own and each other's graduates.
