- Abstract
- The potential bias on the part of librarians with a secondary subject degree is explored as it appears in the library catalog through collection development. The number of books in a given library in a specific subject area is compared to determine if any bias exists in librarians with a Ph. D. A slight bias is detected as there often is a greater percentage of books in the subject area chosen by the librarian with the Ph. D. but it is concluded that further study is needed.
