A follow-up survey was conducted in 1977, five years after a previous survey of head librarians in large biomedical libraries, to assess changes that had occurred in the representation of women in top administrative positions. Results for the 126 libraries that responded are reported in six category groupings, with comparative figures for 1977, 1972, and 1950. Also reported are data on head librarian and associate librarian positions and on the appointment rate of women and men to head librarian posts that became vacant from 1972 to 1977. Despite a large number of vacancies and turnover, which provided an opportunity for change to have occurred, the most striking aspect of the 1977 survey is the similarity of its results to those of the 1972 survey. Women made up over three-fourths of the librarian work force and held considerably less than one-half of the head librarian positions.
1977年进行了一项跟踪调查，这是在之前对大型生物医学图书馆的馆长进行调查五年之后进行的，目的是评估女性在高层管理职位中的占比所发生的变化。对做出回应的126家图书馆的调查结果按六个类别分组进行了报告，并给出了1977年、1972年和1950年的对比数据。还报告了馆长和副馆长职位的数据，以及1972年至1977年期间女性和男性被任命为空缺馆长职位的比例。尽管有大量的空缺和人员更替，这为变化的发生提供了机会，但1977年调查最引人注目的方面是其结果与1972年调查结果的相似性。女性占图书馆员劳动力的四分之三以上，但担任馆长职位的比例却远不到一半。
