Abstract Stereotypes regarding employees of the so-called millennial generation suggest that they like to change jobs frequently and prefer flexibility to long-term job stability. Library administrators who assume this stereotype to be true may believe (or assert) that faculty status and the opportunity to earn tenure are not as important to millennials as to older librarians. This belief may even lead administrators to eliminate or phase out faculty status for librarians at their institutions, on the assumption that younger librarians would find professional staff positions more appealing because they don't want to work at the same institution for the six or more years that it takes to earn tenure. This study, which specifically explores questions concerning faculty status and the opportunity to earn tenure, examines the job-status preferences of hundreds of new academic librarians at ARL-affiliated institutions and soon-to-be academic librarians currently enrolled in ALA-accredited master's programs in the United States and Canada. The themes that emerge from the results indicate that job security is an especially strong concern for this population of academic librarians and students, that faculty status and the opportunity to earn tenure are associated with perceived job security, and that that this population views academic librarians' work as being equal to that of “regular” faculty members. Moreover, this study finds that millennial status is not correlated with any particular view about faculty status and the opportunity to earn tenure.

教师状况:千禧一代 LIS 学生和 ARL 机构新图书馆员的下一代就业状况偏好

摘要 对所谓千禧一代员工的刻板印象表明,他们喜欢频繁换工作,更喜欢灵活性而不是长期的工作稳定性。认为这种刻板印象是真实的图书馆管理员可能会相信(或断言)教师地位和获得终身职位的机会对千禧一代来说并不像对年长的图书馆员那么重要。这种信念甚至可能导致管理人员取消或逐步取消其机构图书馆员的教职地位,假设年轻的图书馆员会发现专业工作人员职位更有吸引力,因为他们不想在同一机构工作六年或更长时间获得终身职位所需的时间。这项研究专门探讨了有关教师地位和获得终身教职机会的问题,研究了 ARL 附属机构的数百名新学术图书馆员和目前在美国和加拿大注册 ALA 认证硕士课程的即将成为学术图书馆员的工作状态偏好。结果中出现的主题表明,工作安全是这一类学术图书馆员和学生的特别关注的问题,教师地位和获得终身教职的机会与感知到的工作安全相关,并且这一人群认为学术图书馆员的工作与“普通”教员的工作相同。此外,这项研究发现,千禧一代的地位与任何关于教师地位和获得终身教职机会的特定观点无关。
