[LIBRARYDIR] help with staff classifications

[Mindy Coslor]

I agree with Michelle.  I upgraded an LAPP a year or two ago.

Cheyenne,

The way that we've approached this at Clark is that the LAPP 1-2 classifications are technicians and the LAPP 3-5 classifications are specialists. If the duties outlined in the library specs aren't in alignment with the duties currently performed you could look to the IT technician or specialist classifications to see if these are a better fit. We did this several years ago with a previous LAP 2 technician position that was responsible for serials and electronic resource management (which also included management of our digital archives). I was able to make a case that the work requires a much more technical IT focused skill set than as defined by the LAP 1-2 classifications.

Please give me a call if you would like to discuss in greater detail.

Regards,
Michelle

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] help with staff classifications

Good morning all,
I am hoping y'all can help me out with something. I feel like one of my staff is perhaps under-classified and would like to approach our Human Resources folks about it, but I am having trouble finding a list or explanation of other library professional classifications. She is not a Librarian (no MLIS) and currently is a Specialist, but I am wondering if there are varying levels of Specialist like there is for Technicians. Where might I find this list of hierarchy and job descriptions?

Or if such a list doesn't exist, how do you determine the levels of your Technicians/Specialists at your colleges?

Thanks
