    Dear Colleagues,

    In September 2006, we invited librarians on this
    list who were working in academic/research
    libraries and hold a doctorate in a discipline
    other than LIS to participate in an online
    survey. Many survey respondents requested that
    we post information about the article's
    publication back to the listserv. We are pleased
    to say that the article appeared this month:

    "Academic/Research Librarians with Subject
    Doctorates: Data and Trends 1965­2006." portal:
    Libraries and the Academy 8, no. 1 (January 2008): 31-52.
    Those whose institutions subscribe to portal can access the article here:

    This article focuses upon survey respondents'
    demographic profile, educational background,
    paths into librarianship, and range of positions
    currently held. We plan a follow-up piece
    concentrating on their experiences in the
    workplace and views about the advantages and
    disadvantages of academic librarianship as a career.

    Many thanks to everyone who responded to our
    survey! The data we gathered allowed us to write
    the first in-depth article on academic librarians
    with subject doctorates based on their own experiences.

    Best wishes,

    Todd Gilman, Librarian for Literature in English, Yale University Library &
    Thea Lindquist, History and Germanic Language and
    Literature Librarian, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries
