Abstract

At the University of Nebraska-Omaha, faculty librarians’ work focuses on three areas: librarianship, service, and research. This work is organized to fulfill the university Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure. The process can be daunting, especially for new faculty. To help make this process easier, we created a specific peer group to better meet the varied needs of pre-tenured library faculty. The librarians and archivists in this group are from different departments in the library, illustrating the importance of having shared experiences and varied perspectives. This panel will demonstrate the value of a cross-departmental peer group, providing attendees with ideas to emulate for mentorship programs, peer groups, or simply space to build or maintain collegial relationships, especially in times of crisis.
