Trends In... Librarians and Faculty Status.

Within academic libraries there are a variety of models for faculty status or classification applicable to librarians within their institutions. Some librarian positions are tenure track, some are non-tenure track, and some are classified as non-faculty administrative staff roles. This column will outline things to consider when a librarian classified as staff, professional or non-faculty is approached to take on a faculty role in an academic department outside of the library or is presented with the opportunity to pursue faculty status as a librarian. Having these statuses has benefits as well as challenges which should be considered before taking on such a role.
