crl-13681	Cook, M. Kathy	Rank, Status, and Contribution of Academic Librarians as Perceived by the Teaching Faculty at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale	1981-05-01	10	.pdf	application/pdf	4726	310	57	Concerning the granting of faculty status to librarians, several teaching faculty felt that the librarians' role was coequal but different: Because the library is not a de- gree granting department, faculty rank and status should not be awarded; They should be considered administrators and have the sole purpose to serve students and teaching faculty; The only legitimate faculty rank for librarians would be those with crossappointment in an academic de- partment. Service was perceived as the most important function of the li- brarians , but many teaching faculty members indicated that librarians should conduct research if they are to be awarded faculty rank and status .	cache/crl-13681.pdf	txt/crl-13681.txt
