COLLEGE & RESEARCH LIBRARIES
Librarians and Faculty Status
NEWS
No. 3, March 1969
ACRL News Issue (A) of College & Research Libraries, Vol. 30, No. 2
In September 1968 College and Research Libraries published an article on “Status of Librarians in Four Year State Colleges and Universities.” The study was based on a questionnaire sent to 321 four-year state colleges and university centers across the United States. The compilation of statistics was based on a 57 per cent return. Status for librarians was equated with that of the academic faculties in regard to rank and titles, promotion criteria, tenure, sabbatical leave, rates of pay, holidays and vacations, participation in faculty government, and fringe benefits. The article showed that only 26 of 183 reporting libraries granted full faculty status to their librarians. Since the publication of the article the authors have received many inquiries as to the actual names of the institutions which enjoy full faculty status. The following 24 of 26 institutions were kind enough to authorize us to disclose their names:
1. Colorado State University; Fort Collins, Colo.
2. Eastern Illinois University; Charleston, 111.
3. Illinois State University; Normal, 111.
4. Fort Hays Kansas State College; Hays 2, Kan.
