The Trending Academic Library Job Market: An Analysis of Library Position Announcements from 2011 with Comparisons to 1996 and 1988	2015	24	.pdf	application/pdf	11944	420	38	John Budd adds that academic librarians practice a style of librarianship that may require more than the basic MLS degree, leading him to ponder whether students interested in a career in academic libraries should take coursework specific to these skills for an entry-level job.5 Reports and anecdotal observations like these paint a bleak picture of the academic library job market and in turn motivated the researchers to update studies conducted by Reser and Schuneman, who analyzed academic library positions using job an- nouncements advertised in 1988, and Beile and Adams, who used job advertisements from 1996, by examining position announcements from 2011.6 This cross-sectional technique allows for a three-point comparison of academic library jobs over a 23-year period. Literature Review The state of the academic library job market and required skills and qualifications associated with academic library positions have been the topic of numerous investi- gations, and a search for studies using position announcements as an indication of the job market yielded a variety of reports in the professional literature.	cache/crl-16459.pdf	txt/crl-16459.txt
