Introduction

This guideline was originally developed by the ACRL Academic Status Committee and approved by the ACRL Board of Directors and the 91´«Ã½ Standards Committee at the 1993 Midwinter Meeting. In 2000, the ACRL Committee on the Status of Academic Librarians reviewed the guideline as requested by ACRL and no changes to the current text were recommended. The ACRL Board of Directors reaffirmed the guideline at the 2008 Annual Conference.

The guideline

The policy of the Association of College and Research Libraries is that academic librarians shall be included on the same basis as their faculty colleagues in units for collective bargaining. Such units shall be guided by the standards and guidelines of ACRL pertaining to faculty and academic status.
