Library Faculty Evaluation: Criteria and Scoring Instrument.
Christopher, Rachel; Culpepper, Jetta
In an effort to improve individual progress toward meeting university requirements for promotion and tenure, librarians at Murray State University (Kentucky) recently revised their Faculty Activities Report and Faculty Evaluation forms to meet the following objectives: (1) to develop a Faculty Activities Report form that would be easier to administer and more equitable, providing for a continuous listing of activities through the years rather than the annual listing formerly used; and (2) to develop a Faculty Evaluation form that would specifically address university criteria for promotion and tenure. The new Faculty Activities Report form allows faculty members to keep account of their accomplishments during each calendar year in the five categories of teaching excellence/job performance, research/creative achievement, professional service, academic and professional service, and university service. Designed to be used for the evaluation of each librarian by his or her immediate supervisor, the new Faculty Evaluation form includes a rating scale of 1 to 5 for the criteria of teaching excellence/job performance (70% of the total score), research/creativity (20%), and service (10%). The Faculty Evaluation form and rating scale are included. (KM)
