Dear ARLIS/NA Colleagues, Last month I posted to ARLIS-L regarding librarians who participate in a bargaining unit (thanks again to all who responded). I'm following up with a different query that may go beyond my initial one: are you afforded dedicated "research time" in the model of Research Friday or a similar equivalent, or a number of days per month or year, on or off campus?
