| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to the understanding of the motivations of ethnic minorities to choose library and information science (LIS) as a career. Increasing the presence of librarians of color may help to improve diversity within LIS. The central questions explored here can be divided into two parts: (1) Why do ethnic minorities choose librarianship as a profession? (2) What would motivate members of minority groups to join a profession in which they cannot see themselves?.
