10. SUPERVISORS' PROMOTION AND TENURE SEMINAR
There will be a seminar for all supervisors of librarians on Thursday,
November 30, 1:00-3:00 p.m., in the Ground Floor Conference Room (043),
Main Library, Bloomington. It is especially important for anyone who
supervises a non-tenured librarian to attend this seminar. The Promotion
and Tenure Committee has recently completed its review of this year's
dossiers, and information from the Committee based on its examination of
those cases will be valuable to anyone responsible for evaluating
librarians. The guidance given to librarians by their supervisors as
they progress toward tenure and promotion is critical to the success or
failure of their cases. To register for the seminar, please contact
Marilyn Shaver (SHAVER).
11. CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR WHITE AWARD
Employees of the IU Libraries holding an MLS or equivalent degree are
invited to submit applications for the Herbert F. and Virginia White
Professional Development Award. The White Award has been established to
support the career growth of individuals who have chosen librarianship as
a profession. An application form is included in this announcement.
The applicant for the White Award should write an essay clearly stating his/her intentions and expressing how the project or activity will fit into the individual's career goals. The essay should describe the activity in detail, stating when and where it will take place, including an itemized list of anticipated expenses, and the expected benefits to the individual's professional growth. A variety of activities- possibly, though not necessarily, related to research and/or continuing education- may be considered. When judging the relative merit of proposals, quality, not quantity will be important.
Eligibility: Employees of the Indiana University Libraries eligible to apply for the White Award include those persons in clerical, technical, academic, or Professional/Administrative positions holding ALA-accredited M.L.S. degrees, or the equivalent, from all campuses, including extra-systems libraries. Visiting and Part-time Librarians are not eligible, nor are active members of the White Award Committee. Librarians who receive the White Award may not apply again during the year following receipt of the Award. Preference will be given to those who have not previously received the Award.
Criteria: Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the following:
* Appropriateness of the project to the stated career
goals of the applicant.
* Originality.
* Timeliness of the project on the applicant's career
path.
* Cohesiveness of the various components of the proposed
project.
* Clarity and strength of the narrative description.
Type of Award: Annual award of up to $2500. The award may
be given to one person or divided by two. Proposals which request
less than the total amount will be considered. If the award is
not given one year, the funds may not be carried over to the next
year.
Application must be made by submitting the completed White
Award Form to the Personnel Officer by December 15. There is a copy of the form in the Library Faculty Handbook, and a copy also follows
this announcement. This form requires a description of the activity for which funding is requested and a detailed budget. Applicants may
include letters of support from individuals who are knowledgeable
about their project and/or other supporting documentation.
Applicants should also demonstrate the support of the appropriate
supervisor if the project will require time away from the unit in
which the applicant works. A new application must be submitted
each year for consideration.
Award Resumes: The completed application form and optional supporting materials should be submitted to the Personnel Officer by December 15.
Award Presentation: The award will be made by letter and announced through the IUL News and at IU Librarians' Day.
