Reaching Out to Faculty: Understanding Faculty Culture
Larry Hardesty
College Librarian, Austin College
Vice President/President-Elect, ACRL
Abstract
CONTEMPORARY
faculty culture has evolved from influences of British undergraduate and
German graduate education. The result is a culture that values the development
of academic libraries but necessarily their use by undergraduates. Faculty
culture tends to emphasize research, content, specialization, professional
autonomy, and academic freedom. Faculty culture tends to de-emphasize teaching,
process, and undergraduates. Faculty culture also is characterized by a
lack of time and a resistance to change.
Contemporary
faculty culture does not provide an environment conducive for undergraduate
use of the library or for librarians to teach undergraduates how to use
the library. Many classroom faculty members have not given much thought
about the role of the library in undergraduate education. Many of those
who have thought the role of the academic library in teaching undergraduates
tend to think about it in traditional terms, such as the size of the collection.
Only a small segment of classroom faculty view the academic library as having
a vital role in undergraduate education. The late Ernest Boyer concluded
in College: The Undergraduate Experience in America, "We found the
library at most institutions in our study to be a neglected resource." Unfortunately,
in the more than ten years since the publication, few other writers on higher
education have even mentioned the academic library in their works.
Among
the more effective methods of librarians in reaching out to the faculty
are personal contact with faculty members, an appreciation for their needs,
and a genuine interest in the success of students. While progress has been
and probably will continue to be slow and considerable work remains, through
a better understanding of faculty culture, librarians can be more successful
in their efforts to reach out to the classroom faculty.

DR.
LARRY Hardesty, College Librarian and Professor at Austin College in Sherman,
Texas since 1995, is the recently elected Vice-President/President-Elect
of the Association of College and Research Libraries. He holds a Ph.D. in
library and information science from Indiana University-Bloomington and
an M.L.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has other graduate
degrees in history and instructional development.
Dr.
Hardesty has long had a professional interest in library instruction. He
may be best known for his work on relations between the library and the
teaching faculty. His book, Faculty and the Library: The Undergraduate
Experience, was published in 1991, and his 1995 Library Trends
article, "Faculty Culture and Bibliographic Instruction: An Exploratory
Analysis," won the ACRL Instruction Section's 1996 Publication of the Year
Award. His current projects include an edited book to be published in 1999
by ALA Editions titled Library and Computer Relations in Academic Organizations.
His ACRL activities include offices at the chapter level. In addition, Dr.
Hardesty has served as the chair of the Florida ACRL chapter and chair-elect
