Abstract

This study analyzes the effects of selected factors on earnings of library faculty employed at senior colleges of the University System of Georgia with a master of library science degree. The factors are also dissected to explore for any differences in their impacts on earnings by gender. Major findings are that earnings increase with experience, becoming a library director, greater supervisory responsibility, and higher academic rank, whereas a decrease in salary can be expected upon changing jobs. Results from the study also suggest that male and female library faculty earnings are determined in the absence of gender discrimination. A surprising finding is that intellectual contributions and additional graduate education are not directly rewarded with significant increases in earnings.
