LACCNY was conceived by a small group of librarians who had represented the library staffs of the then four senior colleges of the municipal system of higher education in New York City before the Board of Higher Education in its reorganization of the administration of the colleges. The result of the Board's deliberations was to give the librarians faculty status as members of Library Departments of their respective schools. As the librarians soon realized, that determination did not entitle the vast majority of the professional staff to the same recognition or remuneration that faculty status conferred upon teaching faculty. This research focuses on the association's subsequent campaigns to achieve parity with the teaching faculty in the holistic context of political, social and economic trends in the nation, state, city and on the campuses of the city colleges of New York. It takes as its theoretical framework systems operations, the real and perceived roles of associations and the place of librarians in academia. |
