Abstract
- The article presents the author's opinions on the trend of academic libraries away from hiring librarians with advanced humanities degrees. He says subject area expertise is a crucial qualification that is being overlooked in favor of younger, less experienced and therefore less expensive applicants, to the detriment of collection development and the profession as a whole.
