In order to achieve this, the researchers conducted a survey using a questionnaire distributed to the study population. The population consisted of male and female librarians in six Saudi university libraries: Umm Al Qura University, Tiba University, King Abdulaziz University, Taif University, Princess Noura University, and the University of Dammam. The number of respondents to the questionnaire was 88. All standards received high approval rates. Values relating to professional responsibilities received the highest rating, followed by governance, then leave and research funds followed by compensation, and finally grievance. Among the indicators that received the highest average scores were: providing the librarians with the opportunity to complete their studies while working and therefore improve their salaries, engaging them in developing the policies and regulations of the library, and enabling them to participate in conferences and seminars. There were no statistically significant differences in the degrees of Saudi librarians\u2019 approval rates of the application of any of the ACRL guidelines with regard to years of experience, qualifications, gender, specialization, and place of work. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0961000616666626","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,1]],"date-time":"2016-09-01T01:43:37Z","timestamp":1472694217000},"page":"399-409","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Saudi academic librarians\u2019 perceptions of the Association of College &amp; Research Libraries guidelines"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Khaled","family":"Matook","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Abu El-Khair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia; Minia University, Egypt"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,31]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"AFLI Indicators for Library Performance Measurement: National, Academic, and, Public Libraries","year":"2013","author":"Abdel Ati OG","key":"bibr1-0961000616666626"},{"issue":"18","key":"bibr2-0961000616666626","first-page":"13","volume":"6","author":"Abdul Hadi MF","year":"2002","journal-title":"Al-Etjhat Al-Hadith fi Al-Mktbat wal Malomat"},{"volume-title":"Standards for College Libraries","year":"1975","author":"ACRL","key":"bibr3-0961000616666626"},{"key":"bibr4-0961000616666626","unstructured":"ACRL (2011a) A Guideline for the Appointment, Promotion and Tenure of Academic Librarians.
