performance evaluations Bolton, Karen 30 May 2003 15:41 UTC

Hello,
We are a small engineering library at a college, and we are looking at
improving the performance evaluation process we have to use here.
Administration has all departments use a one-size-fits-all two-page form
with a lot of weaknesses, which we have to fill out ourselves, before having
our director evaluate us.  There must be a better way.

I am hoping other academic libraries out there can supply us with a sample
of what they use, or a URL to the website where they have their evaluation
form. What would they change about the process or form if they could?  Do
YOU have to do a self-evaluation, and is this a worthwhile pursuit?

Any advice on this is welcome, since it looks like we will be redesigning
our form, if not the whole process.
