Im Library Journal ist ein Artikel zum Thema “2009 Placements & Salaries Survey” erschienen - inklusive Statistiken.

Kurze Infos:

• The average starting salary for a librarian went down in 2008 for the first time in over a decade, from $42,361 to $41,579.
• There are fewer full-time jobs, more part-time jobs, and more non-librarian jobs.
• New graduates are having a harder time finding jobs and remain unemployed longer.
• Disturbing to me, being a public librarian, was that full-time librarian placements in public libraries fell bby an astounding 12.5% in 2008.
