Several of my colleagues are slogging away at various advanced degrees one course at a time. Librarians at UH are faculty members, have faculty status, belong to the same professional union as teaching faculty, and must undergo the same tenure and promotion procedures as all other faculty. The highest rank here, Librarian V, e.g., requires a Ph. D. as a minimum qualification, and several of our librarians are Ph. Ds.

We do not have faculty status nor will ever as far as I can see. It has not been uncommon for our librarians to have several degrees. We also have a very liberal tutition benefits.

Our college has no Ph.D. programs, just master's programs, and the choice is rather limited. ************************************************************************ Steve Black Reference, Serials and Instruction Librarian Neil Hellman Library The College of Saint Rose Albany, NY 12203 "Cogito eggo sum" blacks@rosnet.strose.edu (I think, therefore I waffle) 4)____ Date: Thu, 01 May 1997 13:38:05 -0500 (EST) From: "Melissa M.
