Members and staff of the American Library Association (ALA) worked diligently over more than a decade to develop a certification program for public library managers. Spurred by a long-standing trend in many other terminal-degree professions that have postdegree, voluntary certifications, the Certified Public Library Administrator Program was born. Legal authority recommended the establishment of a service organization, a 501(c)(6) to manage the program, which has become one of several programs that will be offered to library employees under the imprimatur of ALA.

“…Some existing state professional counselor licensing statutes have been written in a manner that regulate specializations. This approach continues to receive support (Cottone, 1985;Emener & Cottone, 1989). Several states have passed separate licensing laws for marriage and family counselors, and a few states license rehabilitation counselors separately.…”

“…A profession is an occupation that requires specialized training and study. The elements of a profession include a body of specialized knowledge, a set of philosophical foundations, code of ethics, accreditation, professional associations, and legitimate tools (Emener & Cottone, 1989;Feit & Lloyd, 1990;Gale & Austin, 2003;Ritchie, 1990). Since 1900, when systematized guidance was first used in public schools, counseling has become a profession, setting abovementioned essential criteria, and has broadened its horizon with various professional advancements (Emerner & Cottone, 1989;Gale & Austin, 2003;Feit & Lloyd, 1990).…”

The advantages of having a strong professional identity include ethical performances, promoted wellness, and increased awareness of roles and functions among individual counselors (Brott & Myers, 1999; Grimmit & Paisley, 2008; Ponton & Duba, 2009). Scholars in the counseling field have underscored the importance of unified professional identity of counseling, but have yet to create or comprehensively measure the construct. The purpose of this study was to construct a reliable and valid instrument the Professional Identity Scale in Counseling (PISC). The PISC is a 62-item instrument designed to measure professional identity in counseling professionals across all counseling sub-specialties and sub-populations. The PISC's development was based on a comprehensive definition of professional identity derived from the counseling literature. To investigate the factor structure of the PISC, an exploratory factor analysis with the Principle Component Analysis extraction and the varimax rotation method was conducted. The factor analysis produced a meaningful six-factor solution with a total of 54 items. These six factors were Engagement Behaviors, Knowledge of the Profession, Professional Roles and Expertise, Attitude, Philosophy of the Profession, and Professional Values. They approximately accounted for 43.54% of the total variance in a sample of 371 participants. Reliability was supported by internal consistency values as reflected in high Cronbach's coefficient alpha for four factors and acceptable Cronbach's alpha for one factor. Regarding validity, support for convergent validity of the PISC was illustrated as all six subscales significantly correlated with one subscale of the PIVS, Professional Orientation and Values, and five subscales significantly correlated with the other subscale of the PIVS, Professional Development. Social desirability that was measured using the M-C (20) did not appear to impact participants' responses to the instrument items, providing evidence of discriminant validity of the PISC.
