Structured research time for librarians

  • 1.  Structured research time for librarians

    Posted Nov 06, 2023 03:07 PM

    Hello!

    Case Western Reserve University is currently investigating dedicated research time or leave options for librarians. We'd love examples of any kind of research leave (outside of sabbaticals) that your library may employ–especially for staff or non-tenure track faculty librarians. Anything from regularly scheduled time, project-based leave, or another method is of interest. We hope to hear about how you accommodate research needs at your library. 

    We'd also welcome examples from the literature you've found to be helpful. We've found a number of examples, but there may be gaps in our list. 

    Thanks for considering,

    Erin Smith, Rachel Stott, & Anne Trenholme
