89 percent of librarians are white (12/21/2006) This article combines all "professional librarians" into its percentages. However, the 2004 ALA study does provide separate statistics for credentialed and non-credentialed librarians, and the numbers become even more bleak for African Americans and Latinos if you look only at those with credentials (i.e. degreed in library science). Of approximately 100,000 credentialed librarians in the U.S., 89 percent were white, 4.8 were black, 3.2 were Asian Pacific Islander, and only 1.9 were Latino. |
