Abstract
Despite a body of scholarly literature about the labour conditions of Canadian academic libraries/ians, little has been written about non-unionized Canadian librarians/archivists or the related historical and evolving labour environment at the University of Waterloo. Drawing on archival records and scholarly literature, this paper situates Waterloo within the Canadian academic library landscape in conversation with existing assumptions and understandings about academic and/or faculty status. It documents failed attempts at unionization and representation of librarians/archivists by the Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo (FAUW), the role of Waterloo administration in those outcomes, and the nature of, and changes to, the Librarian and Archivist Employment Handbook over time.
Keywords:
- academic status,
- academic archivists,
- academic librarians
Résumé
Malgré un corpus de publications scientifiques sur les conditions de travail des bibliothèques/bibliothécaires universitaires canadien.ne.s, peu a été publié sur les bibliothécaires/archivistes canadien.ne.s non syndiqué.e.s en général ou sur l'environnement de travail connexe historique et évolutif à Waterloo. S'appuyant sur des documents d'archives et la littérature savante, cet article situe Waterloo dans le paysage des bibliothèques universitaires canadiennes en conversation avec les hypothèses et les savoirs existants sur le statut académique et/ou professoral. Il documente les tentatives infructueuses de syndicalisation et de représentation par la Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo (FAUW—Association des universitaires de l'Université de Waterloo), le rôle de l'administration de Waterloo dans ces résultats, ainsi que la nature et les changements apportés au Librarian and Archivist Handbook (Manuel des bibliothécaires et archivistes) au fil du temps.
