Policies and Practices in the Library

While generally responsible for communication, organization and administration within the Library’s Research Services Sector, Research Services Head shall exercise the following particular responsibilities:

Prepare, after consultation with the Librarians and the Dean, an allocation of Library responsibilities. This consultation shall be made as early as possible. It shall normally be completed by the first day of July of the year concerned and shall be communicated to the Dean. Librarians who are dissatisfied with their allocation of duties shall have the right to put their dissatisfaction to the Dean for a decision. The Dean shall normally make a decision within fifteen (15) working days of receiving the request. In attempting to resolve the dissatisfaction, the Dean does not have the right to change the duties of a satisfied Librarian without consultation with the affected Librarian. An appeal can be made to the Provost whose decision shall be final. (Art. 55.50(g))
