The True Benefit Of Faculty Status For Academic Reference Librarians
Keywords
Faculty status; LIS literature; LIS publications; Tenure
Abstract
Faculty status means having the same privileges of rank, promotion, tenure, compensation, leaves, and research funds as other faculty. Arguments against faculty status include that focusing on status detracts from librarians' mission of providing access to information; that the rigorous requirements of faculty status are not something that librarians are prepared or qualified to pursue; and that good librarians would be just as good without faculty status. These arguments can also be used in favor of faculty status, especially as it relates to increasing the quantity and quality of library and information science literature and contributions by academic librarians. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
