crl-11239	Lyle, Guy R.	The Status of American College and University Librarians (Book Review)	1959-03-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1496	55	52	Glaciers move faster than faculty status for librarians but it is evident in these general surveys extending from 1949 to 1957 (more evident if one goes back to the McMillen study of 1940) that the trend is in the direction of giving librarians full academic status with most of the rights and privileges of faculty members. A partial answer at least is supplied by comparing three general studies (gen- eral as applying to many institutions and as opposed to the study of a particular library personnel program) included in this A C R L monograph: Gelfand's 1949 survey of library staffs in fifty eastern liberal arts colleges, Lundy's 1951 study of faculty status for li- brarians in thirty-five representative univer- sities, and Downs's 1957 survey, the most recent of its kind, of the current status of library staffs in 115 major universities.	cache/crl-11239.pdf	txt/crl-11239.txt
