> One of our librarians here has posted a query to me and I thought I would

> pass it on the list and ask for practices on other campuses. The

> "faculty" code applicable to librarians is being revised and the

> librarians are finding themselves irritated by not being able to use a

> "correct" usage that parallels faculty as a group noun. They see their

> options as follows:

>     librarian's code

>     librarians' code

>     librarian code

> They prefer the third and wonder if others have had similar decisions to

> make and what they chose (and how they defended it if they selected #3).
