Perspectives on ... Writing Support for Junior Faculty Librarians: A Case Study
Tysick, Cynthia; Babb, Nancy
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v32 n1 p94-100 Jan 2006
Teaching faculty learn to assimilate into their departmental culture as doctoral students; the terminal degree in Library Science, the Master's degree, however, provides training in the day-to-day operation of a library but not experience in scholarly publishing. As a result, library faculty on the tenure track live in a heightened state of anxiety when it comes to tenure and publishing. The University at Buffalo Libraries has successfully used the Academic Writing Group to alleviate tenure-track stress.
