Peer Review Workflow


ACTION & ACTIVITY


ALL librarians receive written notification indicating eligibility for peer review cycle.


Management seeking an off-cycle action for a candidate not eligible for review must notify ADAHR via email (Candidate, Dept Head, and AUL should be copied).


Candidates provide Form 17 to RIs to communicate suggested letter writers and suggested exclusions (RI must provide internal deadline for this form).

RIs request letters of assessment on performance, if needed for action, as soon as recommended action is determined.

RIs and Department Heads meet with their Supervisory AUL to review pending actions and schedule. AULs should set internal deadlines for documentation to be submitted within their own divisions.


Candidates prepare and submit preliminary drafts of Statement of Responsibilities, Data Summary, and Statement of Professional Achievements to RI.

RIs schedule and hold preliminary assessment and evaluation conferences to discuss pending actions with candidates. RIs discuss actions with Unit Directors and/or AULs BEFORE final recommendation is made and communicated to candidate.
