As I try to suss out what the answers are to the "Who," "What," "When," "Where," "Why," and "How" of my research proposal, here are some articles that I am reading:
Golub, Erin Marie (2010) Gender divide in librarianship: past, present, and future Library Student Journal, Vol. 5.
Gorman, Michael (2004) Whither library education?. New Library World,105(9). 376-380.
Lamont, Melissa (2009) Gender, technology, and libraries. Information Techology and Libraries, 137-142.
Record, Aloha and Ravonne Green (2008) Examining gender issues and trends in library management from the male perspective. Library Administration and Management. 22(4). 193-198.
Sweeper, Darren (2010) Does gender and race have an impact on earning in the library and information science labor market in the united states of america?. LIBRES, 20(2).
I am very interested in the articles that discuss the current gender divide in regards to traditional library jobs and information technology or information science jobs. More men are taking jobs that identify as IT and these jobs pay more than the other areas of library science. While women may have overcome the previous gender divide and now occupy more managerial positions than men, this new disparity between genders is set to become the new gender divide.
I have read quite a few other articles, but these were the one's that interested me the most and seem the most relevant to my research.
There is an article in an issue of library trends on women administrators that seems possibly related to your interest (Barbara Moran and others). The following link should get you to the neighborhood:
