Subject: LAUC-I Questions about the Librarians' Review Expectations and Process
Please explain how you apply the professional Criteria and qualities
outlined in APM 210-4-e-(3)(a)-(d) and Academic Personnel Procedures for
Librarians p. 23.
Criteria
professional competence and quality of service within the
library
professional activity outside the library
University and public service
research and other creative activity
Qualities
consistency of performance
grasp of library methods
command of their subjects
continued growth in their fields
judgement
leadership
originality
ability to work effectively with others
ability to relate their functions to the more general goals of the
library and the University
How do you see the balance between Criterion 1 and Criteria 2-4? How
is that balance affected as a person moves through the ranks?
Do you have different expectations for librarians in different
positions
or divisions? Particularly, as it applies to the fulfillment of Criterion
1 vs Criteria 2-4?
Should every librarian who achieves career status also be able to
achieve
the rank of Librarian V? How do you determine if a librarian is
appropriately qualified to be considered for the move past the "barrier
step", Librarian IV?
How do you plan to share review outcomes? Are you open to having a
person make an appointment with you to discuss the outcome of their review?
Will the direction of a person's future professional development and
next
review be guided by the review initiator solely or should it also include
input from others including yourself?
How has or will the delegation of the review process to the Library
affect:
You
Library Personnel Office
LRC
How can LAUC-I maintain a dialogue with you about the review
process?
