Wilder, assistant dean for technical and financial services at Louisiana State University Libraries, the purpose of the report is to: (1) corn- pare the age demographics of academic librarians to the age demographics of members of comparable professions, (2) examine the dramatic increase in age of librarians between 1990 and 1994, and (3) project the retirement rates of academic li- brarians over the next twenty-five years. Additionally, the author wanted to explore the possible explanations for, and impli- cations of, his discovery that academic li- brarians tend to be older than their coun- terparts in comparable professions. cache/crl-15081.pdf txt/crl-15081.txt
