This qualitative study aims to understand women&#8217;s difficulties in attaining an administrative position within an academic library to articulate best practices to encourage other women to seek an administrative role. The interviews will identify patterns in participants&#8217; experiences, perceptions, feelings, and actions related to attaining an administrative position in the academic library. Understanding these experiences may help to identify attributes and experiences that allow one to pursue and achieve a leadership position in an academic library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am seeking individuals who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>are female<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>are academic librarians (hold an MLIS or equivalent degree from an ALA accredited institution)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>currently hold an administrative appointment at an institution of higher education (2 or 4-year school)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to participate in this project, please complete the following survey.
