MEMORANDUM

TO: 	Committee on Merit and Evaluation

FROM: 	Laurence Miller
	Executive Director of Libraries
	
RE:	Charge.

DATE: 	October 27, 1998


The function of this committee will be the following:

1. Review the merit process - forms, procedures, and criteria, and in 
   consultation with professional staff, make recommendations to the 
   library and university administrations on the form and conduct of 
   merit evaluation during 1999 and subsequently.

2. Review performance evaluation instruments (the MBO form).

3. Develop a general performance evaluation form that relates to the 
   merit criteria and to library goals and objectives.

The above will be conducted within University guidelines. Tony Downs, 
liaison for personnel to Academic Affairs, will be resource person for this.

I would like to have the recommendations of the committee, following 
appropriate consultation, by the end of the calendar year.

Should you have any questions while undertaking this work, I'd be pleased 
to meet with you to discuss them.
