What Did You Call Me? Results of a Pilot Study to Investigate Perspectives from Future School Library Administrators about Appropriate Job Titles
Franklin, Renee E.
Education Libraries, v32 n2 p13-20 Win 2009
The topic of the appropriate job title for school library administrators has been written about in earlier literature but has not addressed the issue from the perspective of future school library administrators. This article presents the results of a pilot study that was guided by the research question: What do future school library administrators believe is an appropriate title for their position? The article reports demographic data, reveals participants' job title preference, and discusses the ways that pilot study feedback will shape the revised data collection instrument to be used in a large-scale study. (Contains 4 figures.)
