[LIBRARYDIR] RE: Library Director or Acting Director

[Joan Weber]

An administrative exempt Director working under the VP of Instruction and Student Services, part of the administrative team of the college.

The decision to hire a director in lieu of having a faculty member who "managed" the library was done before I was hired over 20 years ago, so I have no history about the reasons.  I do know that the decision was part of faculty negotiations the year the position was changed from faculty to administrative exempt.

Good morning,
Does your library have a:


1.       Library Director

2.       Acting Library Director

3.       Librarian with Director-type responsibilities

Additionally, any information on the process or decision making that led to the type of leadership your library has chosen would be helpful (for example: accreditation requirements, funding issues, reorganizations of departments, etc.) Lastly, if you have someone working in the administrative function but under a special contract or stipend, any information on the amount of the stipend, how that amount was calculated or decided, etc. I realize this some of the information might be a bit sensitive so feel free to email me directly/off-list at Cheyenne.roduin at lwtech.edu<mailto:Cheyenne.roduin at lwtech.edu>.

As we work on possible reorganization structures in the absence of our Library Director, any information would be helpful for our deans in their decision making process.

Thanks
