----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear Arlis Members, I am trying to find out whether in comparable institutions to my own, librarians have faculty status and as such are entitled to request sabbatical leave. The particulars of my institution is that we are a small liberal arts college with several specialized departmental libraries. Thank you in advance for your assistance. You can reply to me directly and I will summarize for the group. Bobbie Xuereb Chief Librarian Bard Graduate Center Library Bard College [log in to unmask]
