THE LIBRARY IS A PROGRAM, NOT A ROOM

A biblioteca é um programa não uma instalação

Vale a pena ler os resultados deste trabalho com profissionais de bibliotecas públicas e escolares (EUA, 2012), sobre como se vêem a si mesmos, satisfações e dificuldades. É interessante reparar no salário médio anual para bib. escolares e bib. públicas, com e sem Mestrado (MLS): bib. escolares com MLS (58.400), bib. públicas com MLS (44.700), bib. escolares sem MLS (37.500). Em média, ganha-se bastante mais nas bib. escolares que nas públicas. Valores em dólares EUA.
