Standard III. Faculty
III.5 For each full-time faculty member the qualifications include a sustained record of accomplishment in research or other appropriate scholarship.
As members of the faculty, individuals are encouraged and recognized for their publication and research efforts, which are monitored through their annual reports to the Dean. Successful publication records, as well as research, are key elements of the tenure and/or promotion case. The faculty evaluation model incorporates the faculty members’ publication record for the year, as well as efforts in proposal writing. As the research interests of the program faculty are extremely diverse, the venues for publication are also wide-ranging and include academic peer-reviewed journals, books, conference papers, and professional development articles for Information Professionals.
From 2010 through now, more than 300 publications were created by members of the iSchool faculty. A complete list of publications, by year, is included in Appendix FAC 3. In addition to publications, faculty are supported in the creation of research proposals to a variety of funding agencies including the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and corporate/private foundations including Google and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. A complete list of research proposals submitted as well as those funded from 2006-2012 will be provided during the on-site visit of the External Review Panel.
In addition, iSchool faculty serve on numerous conference program committees and editorial boards; this is an indication of their standing within the field. In addition, many review manuscripts for journals and conferences (i.e. iConference and ASIS&T). The many contributions of the faculty to conferences, publications, and organizations can be seen in their CVs (Appendix FAC 1). A selected sample of such service activities is listed here:
