| contents | Library Faculty Workload: A Case Study in Implementing a Teaching Faculty Model. Goudy, Frank Wm. Academic Libraries College Faculty Evaluation Criteria Faculty Evaluation Faculty Workload Higher Education Librarians Library Personnel Scheduling Working Hours In the January 1988 issue of "Library Administration & Management," an article titled "The Dilemma of Library Faculty Workload: One Solution" described the efforts of the library faculty at Western Illinois University to achieve a more equitable situation compared to other faculty on the campus. A totally new approach to the traditional structured workweek was devised, consisting of two-thirds of the workweek specifically scheduled, with the remaining one-third to be "activity or action" result oriented for which one could accomplish goals and tasks at one's own discretion. Certain aspects of these guidelines were considered cumbersome and difficult to understand. A desire to clarify such confusion led the library in seeking a different model that would still be consistent with other faculty. It was understood that library faculty could not achieve the direct one-to-one parity in terms of scheduled hours compared to lecture classroom faculty. Western Illinois University issues Credit Unit Equivalencies for all faculty. The normal range is 9-12 contact classroom hours (CUES) for each semester. Traditionally and contractually, faculty with assignments that are not the typical classroom instruction format are issued alternative guidelines, in the form of a 2:3 ratio: for every two CUES taught per week by regular classroom faculty, these others will be scheduled for 3 class hours. As with all other faculty, there would be 4 office hours per week, and research and service responsibilities would be the responsibility of the faculty member to be conducted outside the 9-12 CUES of primary duty. The application of evaluation criteria is outlined, including two evaluation forms. Western Illinois University's Credit Unit Equivalencies are listed. (MAS) |
