MARJORIE M. TOMPKINS Classification Evaluation of Professional Librarian Positions in the University of Michigan Library

In response to a recognized need, the classification levels of professional positions in the University of Michigan library were recently reviewed by an appointed staff committee. The procedure is described for analyzing each position through conferences between an interviewer and the position's incumbent and supervisor; for devising an evaluation chart with numerical values for the measurable requirements and responsibilities in the position; for applying the evaluation chart to individual position descriptions; and for determining the classification grade of the position.
