This wiki was created as a place to gather information about the professional status of academic librarians. Specifically it is intended as an aid to Rank and Tenure committees, library administrators, librarian job applicants, and others interested in issues related to professional status in the library science field.
Love it or hate it, faculty status, the tenure track, and variations of these designations are facts of life for a majority of academic librarians. As such, peer reviews in one form or another are among the most relied-upon validations of a librarian’s work when up for review. One form of this is the external peer review that is sometimes solicited by a rank-and-tenure committee or administrator. When soliciting external reviewers it’s usually important that the requests be directed toward librarians with similar status. The chief goal of this wiki is to simplify the process of finding an institution comparable to one’s own in regard to the professional status of it’s librarians.
