Follow up: Is there a good way to gauge the time investment within the different categories for planning that approach?

I'm confused about certain categories. I've been told that things like "500 metadata objects" only counts if it was outside of your job duties... Why would that be the case?

Can we see some examples of submissions that have resulted successfully in promotion?

Does it count for promotion if you got a 2nd Masters before coming to UTA?

Is there a template or example of a dossier?

For very new Librarians what are some great ways to get a foot in the door when it come to the Presentations/posters/publications part of the academic and promotion process? What to know when looking into conferences and publishers for research?

Do the grant proposals only count if they were done while at UTA?

Volunteering is one of the categories. What type of volunteering counts? examples would help. What type of documentation is needed to show that you have volunteered? Does time commitment matter?

Other departments on campus have an internal list of top journals to publish in within their field, would it be a good idea to crowdsource that within our library group? Could we do something similar with committees/organizations, etc. I'm wondering how we can info share some of this between everyone

How do you recommend getting proof from former institutions when you don’t have access to your old email or things you worked on while you were there?

What counts as evidence of work, particularly for serving on a committee that may not have produced a project or documet?

2024-05-06 17:56:38 UTC

Have there been considerations or discussions about a more streamlined way to collect information?

2024-05-06 18:11:06 UTC

I find that having to save emails, screenshots, and information like that to be time consuming and information can get lost when we all receive so many emails, teams messages, and etc. for what we do for work and any of the other information for the promotion.

I noticed the rubric says 2023. Will there be a change or addition to the rubric to include more opportunities?

2024-05-06 18:11:20 UTC

For the "post masters degree" criteria, is that after your first masters or after your library masters if you have multiple degrees?

2024-05-06 18:14:14 UTC

Does being a finalist for an award count?

2024-05-06 18:14:15 UTC

Are there plans for different criteria for promotion for non-librarians?

2024-05-06 18:15:45 UTC

If we aren't classified as librarians, will we still be expected to meet the requirements for promotion as librarians? Especially if there are salary differences between us and librarians?

What counts as documentation?

Would a book chapter that has nothing to do with my librarian ship count?

2024-05-06 18:24:26 UTC

I have some entries in a recipe collection that was published, with my name on it. Does that count at all lol

How can we get a better understanding of what falls within/without our job descriptions?

2024-05-06 18:25:28 UTC

Especially for those of us who tend to see tangential things to support the campus community as falling within our job descriptions in order to spend work hours on them...

Do you get more points for being a solo author or presenter?
