Where is the Diversity?

Abstract

This article relays the study done by one University Library on how minority students view the face of librarianship. The study focused on only African-American and Hispanic students and was conducted through focus groups. Focus groups sessons were also conducted with minority staff members and minority Library Science students. Interviews were also conducted with minority librarians in the University System. Results from all groups were similiar and conclusions were made that librarianship is not usually introduced to students as a potential career at either the high school or college level.
