Advancement Prospects
The normal pattern of advancement is from instructor to assistant professor, to associate professor, to full professor. All four academic ranks are concerned primarily with teaching and research. Library science educators who have an interest in and a talent for administration may be advanced to chair of their department or to dean of their college. A few become college or university presidents or other types of administrators.
