Teaching Faculty Perceptions of Academic Librarians at Memphis State University (Research Note) 1994-01-01 14 .pdf application/pdf 7028 337 49 While they do not disapprove of librarians selecting books, like faculty at other institutions, they believe that teaching faculty should have primary re- sponsibility for most book selection on in- terdisciplinary subjects. This reflects either low expectations of librarians by teaching faculty or a mis- understanding of their abilities and re- sponsibilities as noted by the authors of the University of Manitoba survey.18 Teaching faculty may have low expecta- tions of librarians because many librarians are not educated in the faculty's particu- lar disciplines and teaching faculty may not expect librarians to be very knowl- edgeable in these disciplines. cache/crl-14867.pdf txt/crl-14867.txt
