The Question of Gender in Library Management.

Fisher, William

Library Administration and Management, v11 n4 p231-36 Fall 1997

This study counted managers of academic, public, and special libraries to determine the number of managers by gender. Findings indicate male managers outnumber females in large public libraries and large/medium-large academic libraries; however, the overall numbers give females a three-to-one advantage in management.
