Formula & Score-at-a-Glance

Formula: Informed decisions + appropriate work + appropriate workload = balanced library services benefiting users

Process

This is in progress now (ties with 4.2). Examples include the Optometry and Life Sciences Librarian, the Technology Integration Web Services Librarian, and now that we have finished the staff conversations, we’ll work on the vacant CT position in CAS.
