Trends in Medical and Health Sciences Librarianship: A Comparative Analysis of Job Postings, Salary and Geographic Location, 2022 - 2024
Job postings for medical and health sciences librarians provide valuable data for those seeking a better understanding of the evolving field of librarianship. Our data indicate a decrease in the number of postings from 2022 to 2024, a modest increase in the percentage of postings advertising remote/hybrid work, an increase in the average minimum posted salary, and a majority of postings focused on one or more public service components of library services. Utilizing this data provides a more complete picture of a profession in transition.
