Abstract:
Charting the characteristics of librarian authors offers insight into the
field by defining and describing the research patterns of the profession.
This study looks at the journal articles published by academic librarians
practicing in Illinois. It finds that women are publishing close to their
numbers in the profession, that more articles are being written
collaboratively than in the past, and that women are more likely to
collaborate than men. It also shows that librarians publish primarily in
library/information science journals and that librarians at large
universities are more likely to publish than librarians at small colleges.
