To make it easier for librarians and archivists to have equal access to release time (e.g., for union involvement), agreements should include comparative calculations to course releases. For example, the Mount Allison University Faculty Association agreement provides:

5.12.d) In the event that a librarian receives any release under this clause, the librarian shall receive one (1) day of release per week for a period of twenty-six (26) weeks as the equivalent of a three (3) credit course release per term.²⁷
