Abstract: This survey collected information on the careers and views of former students of the graduate diploma programme in library studies at the University of Ghana. The findings are compared with results of an earlier study. The results showed, among others, that the library profession in Ghana is still male-dominated, and also there is a rising rate of unemployment among professional librarians. As in the case of the previous study, there are suggestions for a review of the programme of the Library School.
