Thank you so much for all of the feedback. It is much appreciated and will
help me to grow as a scholar.

To answer Margaret's question, unfortunately a previous alteration negated
my logic statement.  It should be working now.
To answer Lisa's point, of course the idea of "organizational justice"
should apply to "all women" (and everyone else) working in IT, but the
scope of this research study is limited to just librarians. I believe there
needs to be more research conducted in this area within our field.

Sincerely,
Sharon Whitfield
