A survey sent to research, doctorate-granting, comprehensive, and liberal arts institutions across the U.S. provides information on how evaluation criteria for academic librarians vary among different types of institutions. Job performance is almost universally considered; doctorate-granting and comprehensive universities are more likely to require evidence of publication than are either research or liberal arts institutions. Knowledge of the differences among institutions may help librarians in making career decisions. © 1993.
