What does ALA have to lose by refusing to accept classified ads without salaries?
A. Advertisers who opted not to include salary information prior to 1993 included a majority of academic libraries and many public libraries and state libraries. The absence of these ads not only limited the opportunities the Association presented to those who expect the ALA to offer the widest range of available jobs in the field, but also forced ALA to refuse to advertise some of the most prestigious and high-paying positions in the profession.
