Librarianship.

Librarianship. IV.2.2.1 Specific and general library duties shall be allocated in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner, taking into consideration the professional responsibilities and skills of individual members, the terms of members' appointments, the relation of librarians' duties to their research, scholarship, and professional activities, the needs of the library and, when possible, the preference of individual members.

Librarianship. A. Development of library user’s skills in using the library resources through library instruction
Librarianship. Just as teaching is the primary focus of the work of the teaching faculty at Redlands, the librarians’ major focus is facilitating access to information to advance and support the University’s programs of instruction, research, and service. Library faculty members are responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating programs to acquire, organize, and retrieve information, and to make it available. In order to carry out these responsibilities, librarians must have knowledge of the structure and nature of contemporary scholarly communication, of the ways in which students and faculty members acquire and process information, of the means by which information is stored and retrieved, and of the specific academic programs and priorities of the University. Criteria for evaluating effective librarianship are described in §3.9.3.2.
Librarianship. The University expects members of the library faculty to perform effectively in facilitating access to information to advance and support the University’s programs of instruction, research, and service. Any evaluation of the work of Redlands library faculty members according to this criterion should take into account the following features of successful librarianship: • remaining current in their major areas of responsibility, • remaining actively engaged in their own professional development and that of their colleagues—whether through informal interactions with other faculty members or through the various formal opportunities for the improvement of librarianship available to them through the University and through external professional organizations, • planning, organizing, and maintaining materials within their specific areas of responsibility, • keeping informed of relevant new developments in information technology, • enabling members of a diverse student population to engage actively in the information- seeking process, • evaluating information resources and delivery systems in a timely manner and in accordance with accepted national library standards for college libraries (as articulated by professional organizations such as ACRL), and • becoming familiar and acting in accordance with applicable University academic policies and regulations (§3.6.1.14).
