A constructed questionnaire entitled "A Questionnaire on the Factors Affecting the Students' Choice of Librarianship as a Career" was the instrument used for gathering the data. The questionnaire was divided into four major parts: 1) the demographic characteristics of the individuals who chose librarianship as a career; 2) the decision making for the choice of librarianship as a career; 3) factors inspiring and influencing their decisions in the choice of librarianship as a career; and 4) the motivational factors as reflected by the students' concepts of librarianship as a career   Majority of the subjects made their decision of choosing librarianship as a career after high school. Two thirds of the subjects decided for themselves and were really determined in their choice of librarianship as their career. This was further revealed in the ranking of preferences concerning various fields of study where the subjects still preferred library science. The majority of the subjects planned to seek library jobs after graduation preferring to work in the special library with Reference as the type of work they would engage in   The most highly rated motivational factor as reflected by the students' concepts of librarianship as a career was the "service that librarianship renders to society."   The subjects were more inspired than influenced.
