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.Biography DR.
