Jj. Mcgowan et Eh. Dow, FACULTY STATUS AND ACADEMIC LIBRARIANSHIP - TRANSFORMATION TO A CLINICAL-MODEL, The Journal of academic librarianship, 21(5), 1995, pp. 345-350
Faculty status for academic librarians is based on the teaching facult
y model. However, the basic tenure and promotion constructs of teachin
g, research and service do not readily apply to academic library pract
ice. This article presents the clinical faculty model as a more viable
foundation for faculty status for academic librarians.
