- W2185390065 abstract "the Library and Information Science (LIS) profession has historically been regarded as female dominated a minority of males have however held dominant management positions in LIS organisations while females have occupied lower service positions. The training of LIS professionals is offered at various higher education institutions in South Africa. Drawing on the gender divide in the field this article reports on a study that investigated the gender profile of LIS programmes at 10 South African universities where LIS training is provided. The purpose of the study was to establish if LIS programmes were predominately staffed by female academics that were of a lower rank than their male counterparts and were less likely to hold senior leadership positions in the programmes. The study used the survey method to gather statistical data of LIS academics through drawing out the participants, gender, rank and their qualifications from the websites of the LIS programmes at South African universities. To supplement the data obtained from the websites follow-up interviews were conducted with the heads of LIS programmes at the universities. In terms of the gender profile more than half of the academic staff of the LIS programmes at the South African universities consisted of females. However, unlike the professional LIS sector, female academics did not dominate the LIS academic sector. Thus the gender divide that exists in the field also occurs amongst LIS academics. Based on these findings it is recommended that universities should be employing more female LIS academics to more senior positions or should be ensuring that female academics are promoted to these senior ranked positions given that they hold the necessary qualifications to occupy such positions." @default.
