The committee accomplished a number of objectives this past year. Its first project was to revise and finalize the Procedures for Appointment and Review, Librarian Series and Instructions for Performance Evaluation. Work on both documents was completed and both documents subsequently were submitted for membership approval and they were adopted.

The committee also was charged with reviewing the Interim Procedures for Non-Senate Academic Grievances within the context of APM 140 (outlines policies for non-Senate academics to present grievances to the university) and the MOU for UC and the UFL-AFT. CAP and CAAR carried out a joint review and submitted recommendations to the LAUC-SB chair.

Four ad hoc peer review committees were formed to review thirteen packets. Work on all the packets was completed within the deadline. In general, the review process went smoothly this year. Members felt that the chairs of future review (LPO) committees will find that an early-on orientation session with the Library Personnel Officer will help facilitate an effective process for reviewing packets. CAP recommends that this step be part of the process each year. CAP made a series of recommendations to the LPO to help ensure a smooth review process by all parties.

The CAP committee created, adopted, and made use of Helpful Tips on the Review Process (file name is revtips.doc on L drive).

With respect to the Nyholm Award, CAP received nominations submitted by LAUC-SB members and it prepared and submitted to the University Librarian its report on two nominees.
