ALCTS Webinar: Planning and Describing Your Work with P&T in Mind
Wednesday, April 23 , 2014
All webinar sessions are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific,
12 Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description
Achieving promotion and tenure (P&T) in an academic library is like
flying an airplane; you need to start with a plan to get off the ground,
gain altitude, and achieve a sustainable cruising altitude. Materials
will include selections from at least three academic library P&T
documents and a dozen examples of how technical services librarians
described their work in P&T dossiers. The presentation will focus on key
factors that librarians should consider when planning careers, will
illustrate some variations in requirements, and will discuss examples of
wording. The webinar will help early career librarians think
strategically about their careers and describe their work so
non-librarians understand how they contribute to the teaching and
research mission.
Who Should Attend?
Early career technical services librarians in academic libraries and
their mentors, both formal and informal.
Presenters
Lizzy Walker is metadata and digital initiatives librarian at the
Wichita State University Ablah Library. She has a background in public
services and metadata. As a new tenure track librarian, she is

Wichita State University, was elected to the library tenure and
