New AAUP Publishes New Guidelines on Librarians – Stephen's Lighthouse | The Information Professional | Scoop.it
From stephenslighthouse.com - January 21, 7:54 AM

The American Association of University Professors has updated guidelines for  librarians to reflect their changing roles as teachers and researchers. The  joint Statement on Faculty Status of College and University  Librarians (http://www.aaup.org/report/joint-statement-faculty-status-college-and-university-librarians) now includes language on technology in the library and recommends  that institutions adequately compensate librarians for the 12-month cycles in  which they typically work.

From www.thedaringlibrarian.com - November 25, 2012 11:30 AM
"Because I get SO much more from the Edublog Award process learning about and from new teachers, librarians, administrators, etc it has been a super game changer [...] for me! Seriously, it blows my mind!
NEXT year for this I've got a new idea...I've created a new Sqworl group to save all those amazing blogs & educational sites I run across that I'm keeping an eye on to make next year's noms EASIER and hopefully faster! "
