Rationale and Notes
A sufficient number of qualified staff is measured by the effectiveness of the delivery of services
to students, faculty, and staff rather than simply the number of staff employed. Qualified faculty
and staff members are essential to carrying out the mission of the library and to support various
other learning/information services. Overall qualifications are based on academic credentials as
the standard qualification for library and learning/information resource faculty and staff; however,
other types of qualifications may prove to be appropriate, especially for noncritical tasks or for tasks
associated with related academic support services.
