Interesting. What about people who work in IT in an academic library, but are not “librarians”.  Granted that could bring up a whole different set of organizational behaviors (faculty vs staff), but should the issue of “organizational justice” not apply for all women working in IT?

    Good morning,
    Based on survey feedback about gender being non-binary, I have added
    "Other" as an option to the question about gender identification. This
    feedback was greatly appreciated it. My apologies that the research survey
    was not as inconclusive as it should have been.
