Librarians and Faculty Status
In September 1968 College and Research Li­

braries published an article on “Status of Li­
brarians in Four Year State Colleges and Uni­
versities.” The study was based on a question­
naire sent to 321 four-year state colleges and
university centers across the United States. The
compilation of statistics was based on a 57 per
cent return. Status for librarians was equated
with that of the academic faculties in regard to 
rank and titles, promotion criteria, tenure, sab­
batical leave, rates of pay, holidays and vaca­
tions, participation in faculty government, and
fringe benefits. The article showed that only 26
of 183 reporting libraries granted full faculty
status to their librarians. Since the publication
of the article the authors have received many
inquiries as to the actual names of the institu­
tions which enjoy full faculty status. The fol­
lowing 24 of 26 institutions were kind enough
to authorize us to disclose their names:

1. Colorado State University; Fort Collins,
Colo.

2. Eastern Illinois University; Charleston, 111.
3. Illinois State University; Normal, 111.
4. Fort Hays Kansas State College; Hays 2,

Kan.
5. Northwestern State College of Louisiana;

Natchitoches, La.
6. Moorhead State College; Moorhead, Minn.
7. Winona State College; Winona, Minn.
8. Southeast Missouri State College; Cape Gi­

rardeau, Mo.
9. Southwest Missouri State College; Spring-

10. Glassboro State College; Glassboro, N.J.
11. Newark State College; Union City, N.J.

SUNY LIBRARIANS 
ASSOCIATION BEING

FORMED
Elected representatives from the various 

library units of the State University of New 
York have drafted a constitution and by­
laws for a statewide association of SUNY 
librarians.

The association aims to advance the pro­
fessional status of the librarians in SUNY 
and to further develop the principles and 
standards of academic librarianship.

The libraries of SUNY range in size and 
complexity from those of two year com­
munity colleges through university centers 
and medical schools.
