We have faculty status. - John Dupuis

No faculty status here. We propose/present/write as we want and have time for. It's encouraged but not part of our job descriptions. - lris

Same here as at Iris's house. - Steele Lawman

Thanks for the feedback. I have non-faculty status and don't have to do these things. Sometimes I want to, but I don't know how that would fit into the 40-hour a week, 48 (?) week a year model. - Yvonne

Faculty status. In three different positions, all have been faculty. The expectations were all radically different though. - RudĩϐЯaЯïan

Faculty status, but we're 12-month and expected to be in-library 40 hours a week. A lot of it is done at home or after-hours. - ωαřмaiden ❤Marrit Woman❤

Similar to what Warmaiden said. We're faculty, in building 40 hours, 12 month. And the medical campus only slows a little during the summer. We do get research days that can be taken to sit at home and work. - Hedgehog

Yep, faculty status but 40 hour 12 month work schedule. It is ok to work on research and presentation during working hours, but regular librarianship comes first, so I do a lot of my writing on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. - LibrarianOnTheLoose

Faculty status, not tenure track. Service and scholarship required. - ellbeecee

faculty status but not tenure track. service and scholarship required if we want to go up for promotion - Sir Shuping is just sir

I don't understand why anyone should be in an office a precise 40 hours a week. - barbara fister

Non-tenured faculty status. Still expected to write articles and make presentations and such. - Joe Boone

I was thinking along Barbara's lines, but I think I have been lucky in my career. I also haven't had jobs that are just full right up to the brim with work that has to be done on a deadline. There has always been time to say "I'm not going to do that right now because I'd rather do this." - Steele Lawman

same as ellbeecee and joe here. non-tenure track, but service more than scholarship is required. we also advise undeclared students and teach info lit sessions as part of our promotion expectations.] - ~Courtney F

We have faculty status, 12-month appointments. No expectation of a 40-hour officially, though some faculty live that way. - kaijsa

Faculty status, 9-month appointments. Don't hate me. - barbara fister

Faculty status without ranks, 40-hr/12-month (though some interpret that more...loosely...than others), research is expected for tenure. Whether you do the research on your time or during that 40 hours is up for interpretation. - Catherine Pellegrino

HATE! No, I could never hate Barbara. But if I had a 9-month appointment, I would be a lot more prolific in my research. Well, until I starved from living on 75% of my awesome salary. - kaijsa

I'm with Secret Agent Fister, plus membership in the faculty union (APSCUF) and I get to compete with the 'regular' faculty for promotions ;) - awd

faculty status in name only... we are expected to be in library 40 hours a week (or more), 12 months, no research/presentation expectations or requirements. - kelly

MPOW is also WPOW (Warmaiden's place...) so ditto for me. - Jason Griffey from iPhone

9 month appointment can bite you when you are working a 12 month job and supervising 12 month staff. I'm 9 month faculty status w/ ranks with a half-time summer contract. We don't expect a lot of scholarship - job performance is, as they say, number 1. - Jen

I don't think any librarians in New Zealand would have faculty status. (There might be rare individual exceptions, though the only sort-of one I can think of has since resigned.) Research/scholarship isn't part of my job description, IIRC, (if anyone's) but it's approved of and encouraged; it looks good in performance reviews and on one's resume, and one's application to attend a conference is more likely to be approved if one is speaking there. - Deborah Fitchett

Faculty, but it's community college--nobody's expected to publish. - JffKrlsn from Android

Non-faculty, but research, presentations, and publishing are encouraged. No real release time to do any of that, but we do have generous travel support if your paper / presentation is accepted. - Amandadon't from Android

We don't have faculty status because we report to the CIO, not Academic Affairs. But I still engage in professional development because this isn't the only job I'm going to have. - Anne Graham

I think Anne's point about resume / CV / experience building is important. - Steele Lawman

Also, there's "engage in professional development" and then there's "publish articles in peer-reviewed journals." The one is a subset of the other, but too often rank & tenure committees value the one and not the other. - Catherine Pellegrino

Professional Staff (not faculty) Status - while work in librarianship is central, publishing, presenting and professional contributions are necessary for promotion. - Galadriel C.

Interesting....thanks everyone! - Yvonne
