Abstract

abstract:This paper presents an empirical analysis of the supply-and-demand dynamics in the library and information science (LIS) academic market in China. This analysis is based on a broad concept of academic market and large-scale labor-market data. The authors find a shift in faculty positions, in which traditional positions in universities and research institutions have been replaced with relatively new, temporary academic positions, such as contract-based positions, research librarians, and army lecturers. In addition, they speculate that institutional prestige contributes to a structural mismatch in the Chinese LIS market. Confronted with a changing academic job market, LIS institutions and associations need to strengthen the training of doctoral students’ transferable skills to improve their entry into the academic market. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to investigate the supply and demand of the LIS academic market in China, which can provide a reference for the global LIS academic community.
中国高校劳动力市场的供给与需求分析
本文对中国图书馆情报学学术市场的供需动态进行了实证分析。这种分析是基于广义的学术市场概念和大规模的劳动力市场数据。作者发现了教师职位的转变,大学和研究机构的传统职位已经被相对较新的临时学术职位所取代,比如基于合同的职位、研究图书管理员和军队讲师。此外,他们推测,机构声望导致了中国LIS市场的结构性错配。面对不断变化的学术就业市场,美国院校和协会需要加强对博士生可转移技能的培训,以提高他们进入学术市场的能力。据我们所知,本研究是第一次尝试对中国法学学术市场的供需进行调查,可以为全球法学学术界提供参考。
