Librarian Status at US Research Universities: Extending the Typology
Bolin, Mary K.
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v34 n5 p416-424 Sep 2008
A typology of librarian status developed for land grant universities is extended to US research universities. Land grant librarians are tenure-track faculty in 70% of institutions. Librarians in the expanded population have that status slightly more than half the time. Institution size, geographic region, and public/private governance are discussed. (Contains 7 tables and 1 figure.)
