Librarian Review Timetable
Academic Promotion and Career Status Reviews
2011-2012

November 1-15, 2011:

Review Initiators will confer with librarians. Any librarian who is not scheduled for an automatic review during this review period but who wishes to be reviewed should inform the Review Initiator by November 15, 2011. Review Initiators and librarians begin the gathering of relevant documentation for promotion and career status review in those cases where (1) the librarian is scheduled for a review, or (2) the Department Head intends to initiate a review, or (3) the librarian intends to request a review. Candidates should begin to assemble their dossiers.

November 1-30, 2011:

As soon after November 1 as possible, but by November 14 at the latest, the candidate under review may suggest the names of persons from whom letters of evaluation may be solicited. The Review Initiator shall solicit letters evaluating the candidate from qualified persons, including a reasonable number of persons whose names have been provided by the candidate.

Any request for deferral of a scheduled promotion or career status review must be made known to the Library Human Resources Department and CAPA by mid-November at the latest. Review Initiator should be prepared to present information concerning the available evidence which will form the justification for their recommendations.

Concerns should be discussed with the candidate by the Review Initiator, and consideration should be given to the content of documentation that addresses such concerns.

December 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012:

Review Initiators and librarians put together the formal documentation which will be used in the review. This should include:

1. Review Initiator's and Department Head's recommendation.
2. Librarian's signed self-evaluation.
3. Carefully chosen copies of reports, articles and books which the candidate has authored or edited and other documentation which the candidate believes may be of assistance in the evaluation.
