520 $a The purpose of this research was to survey the undergraduate librarians in the United States as to their perceptions of their function, roles, and characteristics.
520 $a The research participants for this nationwide survey consisted of 142 undergraduate librarians. Undergraduate librarians were defined as those librarians who worked in libraries which were intended for undergraduate students, located in institutions supporting advanced graduate work, were housed either in a central library building or in a separate building, and consisted of a collection designed to support the undergraduate curriculum and personnel and services which promoted the integration of the library into the undergraduate teaching program of the university. In response to a pretested questionnaire, 111 usable returns were received to give a response rate of 78.2 percent. The data were analyzed using frequency distributions.
520 $a The data revealed that women predominate in undergraduate librarianship (71.2 percent). A majority of the chief administrators (54.5 percent) were male. The model age bracket was 23-34 years of age.
520 $a Over 99 percent of the librarians held library degrees. Nearly 22 percent held a subject master's degree. Approximately 90 percent had undergraduate majors in social sciences and humanities.
520 $a Nearly 50 percent of the librarians held academic rank. The most commonly held rank was assistant professor (42.9 percent). Nearly 77 percent had academic status.
520 $a Position titles for the chief administrators were not uniform. The most common title was Head, Undergraduate Library. These librarians reported to an associates or assistant director or university librarian or to a director. The titles of the non-administrators reflected their professional assignments.
520 $a Undergraduate librarians are actively involved in continuing education programs. During the three previous years nearly 74 percent had participated in workshops, institutes, seminars, and short courses.
520 $a Undergraduate librarians are members, on the average, of three professional organizations. Eighty-three percent belong to the national library association.
520 $a Undergraduate librarians were relatively new to librarianship. Seventy percent had worked less than five years in their present positions. Nearly 77 percent had previous library experience.
520 $a The salary range for undergraduate librarians was from below $1 0,000 to over $3 0,000. Nearly 33 percent earned between $1 3,000 and $1 7,999. Approximately 60 percent felt their salaries were inadequate for their experience and education.
520 $a Although 32.7 percent of the undergraduate librarians did not desire to remain indefinitely in undergraduate librarianship and 52.9 percent desired to leave, 79.2 percent agreed that their present positions were satisfactory, 50.9 percent agreed that their careers were fulfilling their expectations more than expected, and 83.5 percent were satisfied with their present jobs when they compared them to similar positions in other libraries.
520 $a The undergraduate librarians recommended that academic courses should be offered in bibliographic instruction. Making this recommendation were 67.8 percent of the subjects.
520 $a Given a list of eleven suggested roles as necessary for success as an undergraduate librarian, the respondents could not provide a clear ranking. When given thirty-seven functions and roles to evaluate in the actual and in the ideal, the undergraduate librarians actually performed twenty-nine functions and roles a majority of the time, but would do thirty-six of them at least 70 percent of the time in the ideal.
