Problems Random selection etc. Includes qualitative Survey rules
10
Started survey: 91 Work at a Missouri academic library: 72 Self-identified as part-time : 7 Self-identified as full-time: 51 Manager or administrator: 29
13
We only have part time med students that keep library open at night. however--that's not how full-time colleagues view us! It does not matter whether the person works full time or part time as a librarian. It is the quality of work that matters. Are not required to do research or service at our institution. It depends on the position and person's work.
14
Part-time librarians are at a disadvantage in a variety of ways--communication, access to management, opportunities for advancement, etc We only have a part-time librarian on an as needed basis, when we are not fully staffed. I do not see a connection between the amount of time spent and the quality of a person's work. I do see a problem if the employer does not offer full-time employment as the norm, however.
15
Part-time librarians are not expected to do research or service. not useful, too long to train, unable to fill need, hard to find "MLS" required work as too long to train There are no part-time librarians at my institution (14 responses)
16
Respondents say most full-time and few part- time librarians receive the following benefits: Employer provided health insurance Vacation time Paid sick time Employer funded retirement plan
18
Librarians are faculty on a 12 month contract so we have better benefits than the majority of the faculty who are on 9 mo contracts 12 month librarians receive all the benefits listed; 9 month do not have formal leave/vacation or sick time Part-timers receive pro-rated benefits
19
Instead of part time librarians, we have part time reference assistants Part-time librarians really suffer because of this status Have not employed a part-time librarian in 5 years
20
Our part-timers are retired faculty No part-time has an benefits whether professional or support staff We don’t have part-time people in librarian positions
21
Respondents say most full-time and few part- time librarians receive the following : Funding for conference registration Funding for conference hotel and travel Paid time-off for conference and webinars
23
Budget status affects this each year Given $1000/year for professional development Funding cut this year Limited funding but at discretion of librarian When the budget allows Everyone gets a portion of conferences paid
24
This varies; sometimes part-timers do receive paid time off for local conferences and seminars Sometimes the costs are covered, if part-time insists on this There are occasional exceptions for part-timers to attend local seminars & conferences Part-timers can apply for staff development monies.
26
Work experience Increased productivity Reduced absenteeism/turnover Reduced burnout Extended coverage (nights/weekends)
27
