The Nether World of Academic Librarians: Issues of Classification, Educative Mission, and Sense of Place

This mixed-methods study examined correlations between academic librarian organizational classification and sense of place (defined as job satisfaction and personal motivation) and sense of involvement with the educative mission of the institution. This study also examined whether there were any significant correlations between academic librarian career paths and their sense of place and sense of involvement with the educative mission of their institutions.
