LIBRARY FACULTY GUIDELINES:

I. INTRODUCTION

This document is intended primarily to assist tenure-track Library Faculty who are preparing for reappointment, tenure and promotion review by the Eligible Voting Library Faculty. No statement or example in this document in any way supersedes any part of PS-36, the University's Policy Statement 36: Criteria for Evaluating Academic Performance, and Policy and Procedures on Faculty Appointment, Performance Evaluations, Reappointment/Non-reappointment, Promotion and Tenure, Appeal Procedures (Revision 5, effective 7-1-97). Library faculty are reminded that PS-36 governs the reappointment, promotion, and tenure review process. These guidelines are supplemental to PS-36.

In Section II of PS-36, the Criteria for Evaluating Academic Performance are presented under the following subsections: A. General; B. Teaching; C. Research and Other Creative Activity; D. Service. For Library Faculty the University substitutes “Job Performance” for “Teaching” in subsection B. When setting priorities, tenure-track Library Faculty should remember that job performance must be at least notable in order for a candidate to achieve reappointment or promotion and tenure. (see Appendix C)

In addition to notable job performance, candidates for reappointment must demonstrate achievements in research/creativity and service activity that indicate progress toward promotion and tenure. In addition to a sustained record of notable job performance, candidates for promotion and tenure must demonstrate at least notable achievement in either the research/creativity or service components, and at least satisfactory achievement in the remaining area.

Note: The term, “documentation,” shall be used within these guidelines to refer to “all material used in the promotion and/or tenure review process specified in Appendix B [of PS-36] as Documentation.”

The term, “notable,” when used in this document operates under the definition outlined in the Library Faculty Performance Appraisal Process for the annual evaluation of faculty.

GOALS OF THIS GUIDE:

(1) To help tenure-track Library Faculty understand the tenured Library Faculty's expectations with regard to job performance, research/creativity and service activities:

Recommendations for reappointment, promotion and tenure are based on the Eligible Voting Library Faculty members' analysis of a candidate's total record, both quantitative and qualitative, as it is documented in a candidate's dossier. The tenured Library Faculty value quality of achievements more than quantity of activities. In addition, a candidate's record must show a pattern of on-going professional growth, indicating the candidate is currently active and productive and will continue to be so.

(2) To help tenure-track Library Faculty understand the role and importance of the annual performance evaluation in reappointment, promotion and tenure:

Although the primary purpose of the annual performance evaluation is to assess job performance, the performance evaluation also plays an important role in determining the progress being made toward reappointment and/or promotion and tenure. Tenure-track Faculty submit their vitas to the tenured Faculty who evaluate their progress in research and service. Together these annual evaluations provide guidance for tenure-track Library Faculty in achieving a record of performance that will ensure success in attaining reappointment or promotion and tenure.

(3) To help individual candidates prepare an organized, credible, and succinct dossier:

A candidate's dossier consists of the documentation and supporting material specified in PS-36 Revision 5, p.46-49. The dossier presents information about both the quantity and quality of job performance, research/creative, and service activities. There are some headings which appear in more than one category (e.g., PUBLICATIONS appears under both Job Performance and Research and Creative Activities). The candidate must decide where each activity fits depending upon the work involved. The candidate should be sure that each specific accomplishment or activity appears only once in the dossier.

(4) To define the responsibilities of a reappointment or promotion review committee and the candidate in preparing the dossier:

In promotion and tenure decisions the Library Faculty member's documentation is forwarded to the Provost with the Dean's recommendation. Since the documentation will then proceed to the Provost's Advisory Committee, to the Chancellor, and finally to the President of the LSU System for their recommendations, the clarity of the documentation is very important in conveying the Library Faculty member's achievements. In preparing dossiers, candidates may seek advice from the Library Faculty Policy Committee, their supervisors, mentors, or any tenured Library Faculty member. The review committee's responsibilities are “to evaluate the Documentation and Supporting Material and make recommendations that will provide the background for departmental discussion by the eligible voting faculty.” (PS-36, V.B.2, p.25 & VI.B.3, p. 36) Appendix A provides a checklist for documentation and supporting materials. See Appendix B for sample documentation. The committee acts only in an advisory capacity regarding preparation of a candidate's dossier.

II. JOB PERFORMANCE

PS-36 details the three areas in which faculty will be judged: teaching, research and other creative achievement, and service. Since many Library Faculty do not teach, the University substitutes job performance for teaching in evaluating candidates for reappointment or promotion/tenure (approved in memo dated 7-31-97 from Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost, Carolyn H. Hargrave and appears as Appendix C). Library Faculty must have at least notable job performance in order to be considered for reappointment or promotion and tenure. Annual performance evaluations are included in the dossiers of candidates for reappointment as well as for promotion/tenure. Job descriptions are also included in the dossiers. Notable job performance indicates that the individual candidate has a sustained record of surpassing the merely satisfactory level of job performance.

III. RESEARCH/CREATIVE ACTIVITY

Research that contributes new knowledge is the most difficult to produce but also the most highly valued type of contribution made by Library Faculty, especially in the area of librarianship. The candidate may also, however, engage in original research in other scholarly disciplines. The Library Faculty distinguishes between refereed publications and non-refereed publications, regardless of format. While the most important characteristic of an article is its quality, in general, articles in refereed journals with international or national reputations will be considered to be more significant than those appearing in all other refereed journals.

IV. SERVICE ACTIVITY

Three general categories of service are recognized: service to the profession through active participation in international, national, regional, and state library-related professional organizations; service to the Library exclusive of and in addition to job performance; and service to the University through the Faculty Senate, its committees, and/or other University committees. Active participation in international or national professional organizations is more important than most other categories, but extraordinary contributions at the regional, state, and local levels will be valued accordingly. Likewise, participation in library-related organizations is more important than non-library organizations, but service in professional organizations that relates to librarianship will be valued accordingly.

By the time of the reappointment review, the Library Faculty recommend that candidates should exhibit an increasing involvement in a previously selected primary organization. (The recommendation of selecting a single primary organization recognizes the expense of attending national and regional meetings.) Activities undertaken in any appropriate organization will be considered. Membership in an organization and attendance at meetings or conferences do not of themselves constitute service. Participation in the Louisiana Library Association and other state professional organizations is important. To prepare for promotion and tenure review, candidates should also add participation in a regional or national organization, preferably national.

Evidence of library service is expected, but activities that relate directly to job performance are considered not as service but as job performance.

V. REAPPOINTMENT

The successful candidate for reappointment must demonstrate progress toward meeting promotion and tenure requirements. A list of appropriate activities is included below. The list is not intended to be comprehensive but, rather, to provide an idea of appropriate activities. Consultation with tenured colleagues and the candidate's supervisor may also be helpful.

JOB PERFORMANCE: Library Faculty must have at least notable job performance to be considered for reappointment. Notable job performance indicates that the individual candidate has a sustained record of surpassing the merely satisfactory level of job performance. A thorough knowledge and understanding of one's job responsibilities are essential. Appropriate activities may include:

C a continued record of at least notable job performance as per supervisor's evaluations;

C receiving complimentary, unsolicited letters or email from patrons; documentation of performance as noted by colleagues;

C developing outstanding instructional materials to be used on the job;

C developing expert skills and sharing the knowledge with colleagues and others,

C creating/maintaining outstanding internal Web site(s);

C evidence of continuing professional development;

C developing superior relations with faculty and other patrons, improving communication within the university community;

C award of grants and contracts aimed at improving individual, group, or library activities.

RESEARCH/CREATIVE ACTIVITIES: Candidates will need to demonstrate progress in the area of professional research and publication. Appropriate products and activities may include:

C book, book chapter, or database;

C research article in a refereed journal;

C scholarly editorial contributions to a refereed journal;

C electronic databases or similar information tools that are widely used and disseminated,

C substantive, significant analytical or comparative reviews of the literature or bibliographical essays;

C scholarly presentations before professional meetings, learned societies, or before audiences where rigorously reviewed;

C award of grants and contracts to finance the development of research or other creative activity;

C creative and artistic contributions.

SERVICE: Progress in this area will include developing involvement in international, national, regional, or state professional organizations. Appropriate goals may include:

C serving as editor or member of the editorial board of a professional journal;

C making an invited formal presentation at a professional conference or seminar;

C holding an elected or appointed office in a professional organization;

C chairing a committee or task force for a professional organization;

C serving as the moderator of an electronic bulletin board or Web site manager for an external professional organization;

C serving as editor or member of the editorial board of a newsletter or service publication,

C writing reports of organizational activities as service publications;

C program participation as an introducer, moderator, panelist or recorder;

C program planning;

C appointment to a committee or task force;

C serving on the Library Faculty Policy Committee, search committees, Schwing Lecture Series Committee, and similar activities not directly job-related;

C serving on University committees, task forces, etc.

VI. PROMOTION AND TENURE

For promotion and tenure, activities should reflect a sustained contribution to the profession. The lists of activities and achievements given here are not intended to be comprehensive. Candidates may identify and pursue other types of activities and achievements. Consultation with tenured colleagues and the candidate's supervisor may help to guide candidates in choosing appropriate activities.

JOB PERFORMANCE: Library Faculty must have at least notable job performance to be considered for promotion and tenure. Notable job performance indicates that the individual candidate has a sustained record of surpassing the merely satisfactory level of job performance. A thorough knowledge and understanding of one's job responsibilities is essential. Appropriate activities may include:

C a continued record of at least notable job performance as per supervisor's evaluations;

C receiving complimentary, unsolicited letters or email from patrons, documentation of performance as noted by colleagues;

C developing outstanding library resources;

C creating innovative and effective workflows;

C developing superior relations with faculty and other patrons, improving communication within the university community;

C developing expert skills and sharing the knowledge with colleagues and others;

C active participation in professional meetings, symposia, conferences, workshops; such participation including reading a paper, critiquing, organizing or chairing sections;

C evidence of continuing professional development;

C award of grants and contracts aimed at improving individual, group, or library activities.

RESEARCH/CREATIVE ACTIVITY: Satisfactory performance will include activities or publications such as:

C a publication in a refereed national journal, a book chapter, or publications in a refereed state or regional journal;

C creation of a widely used and/or reviewed database, or other informational tool;

C publication of substantive, significant analytical or comparative reviews of the literature or bibliographical essays;

C application for research support/grants and or contracts to fund research or other scholarly endeavor.

The notable level requires a significant and sustained record of accomplishments. For promotion and tenure, notable achievement will include publications and accomplishments such as:

C a book or chapter(s) in a book;

C articles in refereed publications with national or international reputation;

C articles in state and regional refereed publications;

C creation of widely-used and reviewed databases or other informational tools;

C participation in research-related professional meetings, symposia, workshops and conferences; such participation including reading a paper, critiquing, organizing or chairing sessions;

C award of grants and contracts to finance the development of research or other creative activity.

C serving as an appointed member of a committee or task force;

C involvement in planning programs;

C program participation as an introducer, panelist, or recorder;

C writing reports of organizational activities for service publications.

At the notable level, a clear record of significant professional service with indications of continued involvement is expected. In addition to the activities specified for satisfactory performance, a notable level of performance will include examples of significant involvement at the state, regional, or national level, such as:

C chairing a committee or task force;

C holding an elected or appointed office;

C making an invited or refereed formal presentation at a conference or seminar.

INTRODUCTION TO SAMPLE DOCUMENTATION

The sample Fictional Vita is intended to serve as a guide for candidates preparing their dossiers in compliance with PS-36, (Revision 5, July 1, 1997) for reappointment, promotion and tenure review. The Fictional Vita contains examples of entries for headings provided in PS-36, Revision 5, Appendix B with consideration for the exemption allowed for library faculty (approved in memo dated 7-31-97 from Interim Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs and Provost, Carolyn H. Hargrave). Candidates should be aware that library faculty are not expected to have an entry for every subheading in the vita.

In the vita, headings in all uppercase letters are required to conform with the current PS-36. Subheadings in upper and lower case should be included only if followed by an entry. Candidates are encouraged to add additional subheadings if required for completeness or clarity. Additionally, candidates should note that unlike the previous sample vita, publications and activities are entered under the headings Job Performance, Research and Creative Activity, or Service as appropriate. Each entry will appear only once in the vita. The example entries in the Fictional Vita serve to illustrate the nature of publications and activities appropriate for each heading.

Bibliographic citations of published works, creative activities, or anticipated publications should follow a published style manual. Vita entries for activities should provide the same details as the Fictional Vita examples.
