Orientation for New Faculty About Tenure and Promotion: Standards and the Review Process

摘要

In her inaugural column, “The Library Workforce” editor Vicki Williamson wrote of various frameworks through which we can consider library workforce issues. One of these is the lifecycle framework. In academic institutions where professional librarians have faculty status with the possibility of tenure and promotion, the process of being granted tenure and being promoted to a higher rank is a significant, and often stressful, part of the librarian lifecycle. This column describes university and library efforts made to help newly hired faculty in the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University be successful in achieving tenure and being promoted.
