Model statement on academic status W ith the publication of the “Model State­ ment of Criteria and Procedures for Appoint­ ment, Promotion in Academic Rank, and Ten­ ure for College and University Librarians” in this issue of C &R L News, the Academic Status Committee is turning to other matters of con­ cern. Many institutions do not grant faculty status to librarians and the Committee has been re­ quested by several members to consider the de­ velopment of a model statem ent on academic status. The Committee has begun discussions on the issues involved and will continue deliber­ ations at the San Francisco Conference. Mem­ bers who may be interested in this m atter are encouraged to contribute to the debate by ei­ ther attending Committee meetings or writing to the chair of the Committee, Keith Cottam , 1167 Inca Drive, Laram ie, WY 82070.

Anthropology and Sociology Section “The F uture of Social Science Research and Li­ braries: Tow ard the Year 2000” (Sunday, June 28, 9:00 a .m .–12:30 p.m .) will be devoted to specula­ tion on the future of social science research and ed­ ucation, and how th at future will affect both ser­ vices and collections in academ ic and research libraries. Two prom inent social scientists—Neil J. Smelser, professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and James L. Gibbs Jr., pro­ fessor of anthropology at Stanford—will discuss their views on the social sciences in the year 2000. A panel of librarians (Barton M. Clark, G. E dw ard Evans, and Mark Sandler) will speculate on how academic libraries m ight respond to those changes. ANSS will sponsor a tour of the Robert H. Lowie Museum of Anthropology at the University of Cali­ fornia, Berkeley, on Tuesday afternoon, June 30, 1987.
