Abstract

This column explores gender trends over the past decade in medical and health sciences libraries through data reported from the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) and Association of Research Libraries' (ARL) salary surveys of their member institutions. Trends are related to gender composition and percentage of men in libraries are examined. Specifically, the column probes whether the gender composition in academic medical libraries has varied, whether the percentage of men in reporting libraries is increasing, and whether men are overrepresented in administrative positions. Findings and their implications for the medical and health sciences librarianship profession are presented.
