At Duquesne University, librarians have non-tenure track faculty status and were asked to develop a system of academic rank for themselves similar to that of tenure track faculty. After much discussion and debate, the Gumberg Library at Duquesne University approved a system for Librarian Promotion and Appointment in 2008. Librarians initially had five years to apply for promotion and all librarians were required to reach at least the level of Librarian II within that time. Not much progress was made in the first year of this endeavor. In order to encourage librarians to jump into the pool with both feet, the Expedited Process was born. The Expedited Process would enable librarians to submit professional portfolios without traditional peer review. This seemed to allay some hesitancy about traditional peer review while still keeping some form of peer review in the process. After considering the Expedited Process, most of the librarians decided to dive right in. In this session, two librarians from Gumberg Library share their experiences of going through the Expedited Process. Both librarians have less than ten years of professional experience yet are at very different stages in their careers. Both librarians are in technical services and work closely together on electronic resources. One of them is a newlywed and the other is a grandmother. They offered each other support and guidance while navigating through the new waters of Librarian Promotion and Appointment. Does your institution have a system for librarian promotion and appointment already in place? Or is your institution considering a system like this? Come and find out the lessons we learned from this process. This was a major change for our organization as it would be for any organization. We’ll examine how this change affected the library faculty as a whole and two librarians in particular. JUMPING INTO THE NEW WATERS OF LIBRARIAN PROMOTION AND APPOINTMENT: HOW WE DOVE IN AND SURVIVED At Duquesne University, librarians have non-tenure track faculty status and were asked to develop a system of academic rank for themselves similar to that of tenure track faculty. After much discussion and debate, the Gumberg Library at Duquesne University approved a system for Librarian Promotion and Appointment in 2008. This presentation shows how the organization developed and implemented such a system and how two individual librarians navigated these new waters. Duquesne University is a private, Catholic university located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It has approximately 10,000 students. Gumberg Library serves all ten schools at Duquesne University.
