Table 2 summarizes the post-training status of the fellows recruited for the period 1985 - 1991.

Of the 323 fellows recruited during this 7- year period, post-training information is available for 289 . The men and women trained under the HEA Title II-B Program either continued training at a higher degree level or entered or re-entered the library field in a professional capacity.

Only 3 fellows during the entire 7-year period withdrew from the training program (less than 1 percent), and information is not available on just 31 of the fellows (less than 10 percent). This leaves us with a very proud feeling that the Title II-B Program was quite successful in providing the means for nearly 90 percent of the fellows trained during this 7-year period to either enter the library profession or continue in it with enhanced skills.

Table 2 shows that the majority of the fellows trained obtained positions in institutions of higher education. While the majority of the master's and post-master's fellows obtained positions in a library, the majority of the doctoral fellows were among those obtaining positions in institutions of higher education (see Tables 11 - 17).
