Subject: Pre-tenure review in academic libraries

[Ed. note:  Tis is off-topic but could affect acquisitions colleagues so thanks
for indulging me!  PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO MICHELE - THANKS]

I am writing an article on pre-tenure review in academic libraries with a
couple of colleagues at the University of Florida.  UF initiated such a
review last year and we are interested in knowing if other university
libraries are engaged in evaluations of this nature. Because the topic may
be out of scope for this listserv, I'd appreciate it if you would reply
directly to me at:

 mcrump_at_ufl.edu. 

Could you please take a few minutes and respond to the following questions:

 1.  Do you have a third-year/ mid-career review prior to tenure or
continuing appointment?
 2.  Do you have a mentoring program that supports the review process?
 3.  Would you be willing to share documentation on these programs?

Thank you so much for your help,

Michele
