The purpose of the study is to support library and information science students and recent graduates considering academic librarianship by helping them strategize their career preparation and job search endeavors based on recent graduates' experiences. The authors accomplished this by quantifying the demographic characteristics, experiences during LIS studies, pre-professional experiences, aspects of the job search, and information about first librarian positions of recent graduates in the United States seeking positions as academic librarians. This article focuses on the factors which significantly influence successful and unsuccessful job search outcomes based on gender identity, specifically by looking at the experiences of cisgender men in pursuing employment in the women-majority librarian occupation. Results yield one statistically significant finding for this group – applying for administrative positions is associated with a successful job search outcome – while revealing that on average cisgender male respondents need the shortest amount of time to obtain their first academic librarian position. We discuss these findings in context of research on and related to (cisgender) male librarians and in relation to our study's initial results of other population groups represented in the study.

该研究的目的是通过帮助图书馆和信息科学专业的学生和应届毕业生根据应届毕业生的经验制定职业准备和求职策略，为考虑学术图书馆管理的应届毕业生提供支持。作者通过量化人口特征、LIS 研究期间的经验、专业前经验、求职方面以及美国应届毕业生寻求学术图书馆员职位的第一个图书馆员职位的信息来实现这一目标。本文重点关注基于性别认同对成功和不成功求职结果产生显着影响的因素，特别是通过研究顺性别男性在女性占多数的图书馆员职业中寻求就业的经历。结果得出了这一群体的一个具有统计意义的发现——申请行政职位与成功的求职结果相关——同时揭示出顺性别男性受访者平均需要最短的时间来获得第一个学术图书馆员职位。我们在对（顺性别）男性图书馆员的研究和相关研究的背景下讨论这些发现，并与我们研究中代表的其他人群的初步结果相关。
