November 2009
The purpose of this study is to provide an examination of reference
librarian duty equivalents in other careers, to provide a calculation
of the weighted worth in wages culminating in a recommended hiring
salary. The study proposes other job titles whose duties relate to
portions of the reference librarian’s day, providing a calculated view
of the duties’ weighted worth after close examination of the US
Government Bureau of Labor Statistics web site at www.bls.gov and
their presentation of wage earnings data collected May 2006 and then
posted to their web site April 2007.
