Within this context, the overall purpose of this study was to (a) investigate staffing patterns of professional librarians in Texas academic libraries since 1972, (b) determine if these libraries have complied with the legislative mandate to eradicate old employment practices, and (c) achieve the best possible historical record of staffing patterns in libraries in the first twenty years of affirmative action activity for Texas. More specifically, the study was to determine the racial and gender composition of the professional librarian staffs in Texas in 1972, 1982, and 1992. |
