<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Abby,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have served on lots of tenure committees in the many years I have been at Bellevue, but it seems each school is different. I once read a one-page document from a non-traditional faculty member that talked about what their day was like.
It was so helpful to understand their perspective and their job, and how it supports students.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know you are super new, but are there Alma projects that you could highlight? I’ve done things like add preferred names to Alma letters, added if/then statements to letters for specific items. Paula and I are also looking at the controversial
subject headings and figuring out the best way forward, which Alma has made easier. Could you focus on new databases you have established and/or resources that you have marketed to the campus? Any clean-up that you have done in Alma?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do also have a teaching component to my work, but it has become less and less, especially as new librarians come on and are going through the tenure process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do suggest keeping a running document of each year and things you have done, as you will never remember things later on. Mine includes library projects, committees, workshops and conferences attended, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">This is a great question. Many great responses and ideas already. From what I've heard about at most of our colleges, it seems like the tenure processes and documentation is created with full time
teaching faculty as the model and the norm. Even teaching librarians may feel like they are trying to fit into a mold that wasn't built for them. Your librarians probably have some good tips, as do any others who go through tenure, but don't quite fit the
mold.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I recommend you and your tenure committee start thinking of teaching as all of the work that you do. Even better, you may wish to call it librarianship within your documentation. You probably have
other pillars of work like professional development, service, and research. You should have no problem fitting your work into those molds. But for your areas of responsibility, as outlined in your position, that's all "teaching" or librarianship. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">As far as demonstrating growth, show how you are making improvements to your systems, how you keep up with changes, and most importantly, build some forms of assessment or feedback into your processes.
In the first year, you'll probably want to focus on describing and documenting the baseline of the systems, so that you have something to improve. Big projects are great, but small incremental changes that reduce difficulty or widen access are very valuable
too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I believe that most of our colleges operate on a supportive tenure model, where the goal of the tenure committee and the college is to help you do your best work and shepard you through the process.
Hopefully that is the case for you and hopefully this makes it less scary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal">I had to smile just a little bit. You <i>just</i> started, and you’re already moving into “why should we give
<i>you</i> tenure?” Who said academics wasn’t a jungle? <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">
😊</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Seriously though, I’ve written a couple of letters in support of tenure for folks in our group.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">They mainly focus on contributions by the individual to the CTC library community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">In that regard, offering webinars to the community on identified needs and solutions developed, like the work you’re doing already with the Database Search stuff, would be a great way to show both growth in your role, and service to the
academic community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Other examples might be <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">-any user record load process improvements you might work out for Whatcom (adding department info, statistical categories for users, etc)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">-Analytics work that might add value to measuring student success as it relates to library use (I know that’s a topic near to Howard’s heart)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">-Any kind of improvement processes for electronic resource management, or e-access (ezproxy, etc), or anything related to improving discovery for OER / Open Access.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">-As Laura kind of mentions, any kind of work around accessibility would be important and valuable. Ward Naf at Whatcom is one of the accessibility leaders amond the CTCs, and might be a good person to partner with.

to read. I researched this (list places) and made a change to the html file. Maybe with a before and after screenshot.

<p class="xxmsonormal">Hi all, and happy Monday!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal">Apologies for the off-topic post, please feel free to directly me elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal">I have a systems job, tenure-track, which means I need to build a tenure file full of documentation for a committee of other faculty that will eventually go to the college’s board for approval (in 2.5 years). My current job description
doesn’t include anything about instruction officially, and the committee and I have been trying to hash out how to demonstrate personal growth without anything like student evaluations to rely on. We’ve come up with several possible avenues, but are still
trying to come up with a good way to show that growth piece – and I wondered if anyone here has come up with some way to show that (for an eval or tenure file)
<i>specifically</i> for the systems/ tech serv kind of work. I have Sally’s tenure file from several years ago, but this is a different time/ committee… and I would welcome any thoughts if anyone has anything to share. This isn’t about attending conferences
or being on committees, it’s the <b><i>Teaching/ Professional Effectiveness</i></b> category that we’re trying to muddle through.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal">I welcome any direct messages or thoughts! I’ve been through several list archives for different veins of our professional work but haven’t come across anything yet… and I have about a month before my first progress report is due!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal">Hope you all are well,<o:p></o:p></p>
