Department Liasion List

The Moore Library faculty is strongly committed to supporting the teaching-learning process through professional contributions to the Library, value to the University, and scholarly activity. Because of the evolving nature of librarianship, the Moore Library faculty values professional development within each criterion. Additionally, the Department seeks a balance and appreciates a diversity of emphasis in shaping individual careers in these broad areas of commitment.

The candidate shall prepare a curriculum vitae and a narrative statement explaining and assessing the documented record of credentials, qualifications, and performance in the areas listed below. The Moore Library faculty, acting as a department, shall review this material; they shall consider the following criteria as guidelines in their evaluation and apply them to the candidate:

Contributions to the Library in Support of the Teaching-Learning Process :

Library faculty members provide access to all types of information and by definition are involved in a very broad scope of work, including among other activities, collection development, technical work (enabling access to electronic resources), bibliographic control (description and organization of information resources), research instruction, and work with other faculty to support the curriculum. Librarianship, a multifaceted discipline, has a primary role in the creation and dissemination of knowledge for use in education, scholarship, and service. Evidence in this area must include:

• Knowledge of and skill in using resources and materials in the candidate’s area of responsibility.
• Professional contributions in the candidate’s area of responsibility.

In addition, evidence in this area may include:

• Initiating ideas and cooperatively implementing them (i.e., developing and implementing new policies, programs, or services within the Libraries’ mission).
• Working effectively with students, teaching faculty, and the administration.
• Working cooperatively with members of the Library staff.
• Participating effectively in the Library’s formal research instruction program
• Instructing informally (e.g., guiding and helping students and faculty in their work).
• Contributing to relationships with other departments and programs.
• Developing through conferences, workshops, or seminars relevant to the candidate’s responsibilities.
• Participating in courses or work toward a degree relevant to the candidate’s responsibilities.

Value to the Library, University, and Profession :

Library faculty value contributions the candidate makes through service to the Library, University, and Profession. These contributions promote the mission of the Libraries and the University and help integrate the Library and the Moore Library faculty with the programs and activities of the University. The Moore Library department supports the individual interests and abilities of the candidate in service to the Library, the University, and the Profession. Community service that is integral to a faculty member’s professional expertise may be considered applicable to promotion and tenure. Indicators of the quality of service beyond the Moore Library Department and external to the University could include election or appointment to leadership roles, or other evidence that the candidate’s services are sought after, and awards or other forms of recognition of service. The following are representative examples of documentation or evidence in this area:

• Service on Library committees outside specific designated areas of responsibility.
• Service on University committees, task forces, advisory groups, and ad hoc groups.
• Library- or University-related community service.
• Other University service (e.g., fund raising, student mentoring/counseling, and AAUP service).
• Participating (committee work, holding office, etc.) in professional or scholarly organizations.

Scholarly Activities :

Scholarly activity in librarianship brings intellectual or practical needs and problems into perspective and builds an increased understanding of them. Scholarly activity in librarianship, therefore, is broader and more inclusive than a narrow definition of research. The critical ingredients are: identification of an information need or problem, attention to the context of that need, and reliance on a clear and thorough effort to examine and perhaps address that need. The Library faculty may consider the comprehensiveness of the work, its originality, or the competitive nature of the publishing house or journal, for example, in evaluating the scholarly activity of the candidate. If scholarly activity is presented that is under review or not yet submitted, the Moore Library faculty will undertake an in-depth evaluation using standards of peer review. Quality of scholarship is not necessarily measured in numbers, but it is useful in demonstrating the candidate’s growth as a scholar, by way of ongoing dissemination of research findings and continuing commitment to scholarship. Probationary faculty should begin publishing and presenting early in order to establish an ongoing program of scholarship. A single flurry of scholarly activity is not persuasive evidence of a continuing commitment to scholarship. The following are representative examples of documentation or evidence, which support contributions to librarianship or an allied field or academic discipline:

• Formal publications in print or electronic form (e.g., books, annotated bibliographies, articles, contributions to reference works, chapters in books, papers in proceedings, reviews, software, editing of journals).
• Participation in the development of plans, studies, proposals, or new resources for the general library community.
• Media programs or creative work presented at a professional meeting.
• Program or conference conducting, planning, or organizing.
• Papers presented at professional conferences.
• Writing, or participation in the writing of, successful major grant proposals in support of scholarly activity or library services.
• Service as a member or leader of a task force or team of experts, or as a consultant outside of the University (for local, state, regional, national, and international associations related to librarianship or an allied field/academic discipline).
• Contributions to electronic information exchanges or conferences.
• Awards or other forms of recognition of scholarly contributions.
• Evidence that scholarly works are cited by other researchers or used by practitioners.
• Creative work of an artistic nature in a field related to the librarian’s responsibilities or required second master’s degree, which has been communicated and evaluated by peers for impact, scope, and contribution to the body of that art [e.g., performing, painting, literary endeavors, etc.].
