A survey was sent to 150 individuals (110 responded) employed as assistant or probationary librarians, or as assistant (tenure-tracked) professors with the departments of behavior or social sciences at the three Arizona universities: University of Arizona, Tucson; Arizona State University, Tempe; and Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff. The survey attempted to determine opinions in regard to the publishing requirements for the attainment of continuing status or tenure. Although faculty respondents did not all express satisfaction with the research and writing expectations of their institutions, the percentage of dissatisfaction was evenly distributed among the three universities. Librarians' attitudes on these points, however, were not evenly distributed, which may reflect their reactions to criteria which vary widely from institution to institution, especially as compared to the criteria for faculty which is more consistent among the compared institutions.
