Cataloguing Men: Charting the Male Librarian's Experience through the Perceptions and Positions of Men in Libraries

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of male librarians working in an academic library. Underpinning the methodology of this paper is a series of in depth interviews conducted over several years with a group of selected male librarians. This paper suggests that the meanings constructed by male librarians in the non-traditional work environment have broader implications within organisational contexts.
