It has been a while since we have looked at the LIA/LIS level increase request process. Here are three documents which will help us get reacquainted with the process: Level and Competency Statements (Levels and Competency Statements); Level Assessment Form (Level Assessment Form); and Directions for Determining Competency Levels (Directions for Determining Competency Levels).
To access other documents and information associated with the level increase process, go to http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/staff/admin/classification/reclassification.htm.
As indicated in Jim’s e-mail of 11/2/11, I will work to develop a timeline to guide the process of responding to competency increase requests. I expect that to identify a deadline in spring 2012 by which requests must be submitted. This should provide adequate time for both review and budget planning.
Lastly, I’ve received a suggestion to hold info sessions for individuals in LIA/LIS titles plus their supervisors…that sounds like a good idea to me. Look for announcements in future editions of News Notes.
