- Librarians and Academic Status: A Position Paper. Bloch, Eileen, Comp. And Others Evaluation Higher Education Librarians Library Education Library Schools Library Science Professional Recognition Standards This paper discusses the rationale for faculty rank, status, and tenure for librarians at the College of Charleston. A brief historical overview of the profession of librarianship traces the evolution of the function of the today's librarian as a participant in the processes of teaching and research. Standards for academic status are given, as well as criteria for evaluation. Suggested criteria include: (1) professional competence and activity; (2) activities related to inquiry and research; (3) teaching or instructional effectiveness; (4) service to the institution; and (5) public service. It is suggested that only by acceptance of the standards presented can librarians be evaluated by their peers. (AP)
