I find the traditional arguments against faculty status (Shapiro and Ring borrow copi­ ously from them) all too often specious: librar­ ians do not do what “real” faculty do; librarians are not paid enough and do not have enough time to do research, serve on committees, etc.; tenure protects incom petents (h en ce, we should reject tenure); librarians’ research is of poor quality (hence, we should reject research); faculty work is not the “real” work of librar­ ians; on and on, ad nauseam.	cache/crln-23014.pdf	txt/crln-23014.txt
