- A Study of the Organizational Implications of Faculty Status for Librarians in the College Library. Olevnik, Peter P. Academic Libraries Correlation Higher Education Librarians Library Research Library Role Library Surveys Organization Predictor Variables Statistical Analysis This paper reports the results of an investigation into the relationship between librarians' status (i.e., librarians having faculty status or librarians lacking such status) and the organizational structure of the college library. The analysis was conducted within the conceptual framework of two organizational models: the bureaucratic and the collegial. Data were obtained by means of a questionnaire mailed to library directors at 300 randomly selected college libraries throughout the United States. According to the data recieved from 235 institutions (78%), neither the lack of faculty status for librarians nor the possession of faculty status by librarians was found to have a strong association with the organizational model employed.
