Stacey,
All librarians at my institution are tenure-track. Regarding tenure, there's no distinction between public or technical service responsibilities.
I've heard of libraries having both tenure-track librarians and those who work on multi-year contracts (although I've not heard them called "term librarians"), but I've never heard of the extra step that your administration is proposing, and I don't understand the justification for it.

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Tenured Acquisitions librarians?
All
I would like to know how many Acquisitions Librarians on the list are tenured. The library administration at my institution has declared that tenured librarians should not be working in tech services, but only public services. I'm trying to gather information on whether there are institutions that differentiate among librarian status and where they work in the library.
As background, at American, we have 2 statuses - tenured or tenure-track and Term librarians. The term librarians are on multi-year contracts and their creative and scholarly duties are less than the tenured librarians. There are 3 library faculty in tech services - 1 is tenured and 2 are term. We are currently hiring for the Director of Technical Services and that would be a term position.
thanks for any information you are willing to provide.
