Association of College and Research LibrariesJoint Statement on Faculty Status of College and University Librarians http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/standards/jointstatementfaculty.cfm

“Librarians perform a teaching and research role inasmuch as they instruct students formally and informally and advise and assist faculty in their scholarly pursuits. Librarians are also themselves involved in the research function; many conduct research in their own professional interests and in the discharge of their duties.”


Association of College and Research LibrariesStandards for Faculty Status for College and University Librarians (2007; revised 2011)http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/standards/standardsfaculty.cfm

“The academic librarian makes unique contributions to the academic community and to higher education itself. … developing collections … providing bibliographic access to print and online library materials… interpreting these materials to members... instruction in the use of resources …creation of new tools to enhance access to information available locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally.”

Such units shall be guided by the standards and guidelines of ACRL pertaining to faculty and academic status.


"When teaching is part of the faculty assignment, effectiveness is an essential criterion for advancement. Faculty must demonstrate command of their subject matter, continuous growth in the subject field, and an ability to create and maintain instructional environments to promote student learning.”Indiana State University


The academic librarian faces a unique range of changing duties and responsibilities that are often inappropriately documented. The development of a portfolio that creates a record of evidence-based librarianship, scholarship, and service can solve this issue for librarians as they prepare for promotion or continuing appointment.http://libguides.usc.edu/content.php?pid=217806&sid=1810070
