Hack Library School | by, for and about library school students. Gavia Libraria | The Library Loon. The Loon has been known to use upheavals in the law-school environment as a forecasting tool for library schools. She doesn’t believe (believe it or not) that library school as an institution is in nearly that much trouble, mostly because many fewer moneymaking hopes have been pinned on library schools than law schools by revenue-starved universities. Still, if the topic is graduate outcomes, there are certainly similarities, and not always comfortable ones. Should library schools report their job placement rates? Certainly; how is that even a question? The real question is how—what we’re trying to find out, and how we can feasibly do so. Let’s get those unexamined assumptions examined first. This is, not to put too fine a point on it, nonsense, especially when iSchools enter the mix.

What other jobs are those scary graphs missing? But this might need to be part of that available-jobs axis also. Another nasty methodology problem is figuring out when to issue placement surveys.
