Customizing Faculty Success to Showcase Librarian Work in an Academic Health Sciences Library
Lisa M. Acuff, Jonathan M. Pringle, Melissa L. Rethlefsen, and David Lucero
Background:
In October 2019, the University of New Mexico’s School of Medicine (SOM) launched Digital Measures, now known as Faculty Success. The platform’s primary focus was to collect, store, and report faculty activity data in order to streamline promotion and tenure processes. The program was then expanded to other UNM health sciences colleges to create a new campus online directory. The original program was built for the SOM, and faculty at the Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) experienced challenges with many data fields and reports. The existing options did not adequately represent library professionals and their work.
Description:
Faculty Success did not accommodate many activities critical to the diverse types of librarianship. Therefore, HSLIC created an ad-hoc committee comprised of three library faculty and one staff member to address these concerns. Following an environmental scan of library professional CVs and Academy of Health Information Professional (AHIP) categories, the group removed irrelevant and redundant fields, defined current fields as they relate to library activities, created new fields for library activities not yet represented, and developed a custom CV template tailored to highlight what mattered most to HSLIC. Throughout the summer of 2022, the committee shared their work with other library faculty, incorporating feedback until all activities were represented, and faculty consensus was reached.
Outcomes:
Representing library instruction was a key, problematic area. Available fields did not convey the types of instruction developed and shared by library faculty. Another challenge was demonstrating archival work, collection development, and large-scale projects because existing categories did not showcase faculty’s activities in these areas. The new system will be vital to the library’s promotion and tenure process, in the creation of annual reports, and for annual faculty evaluations. Next steps include testing, creating user instructions, and self-entering CV data, a large undertaking, by June 2023. The library hopes the changes and templates will benefit other health sciences librarians using Faculty Success.

24/7 Library - Investing for a Sustainable Future
Sally Bowler-Hill, George E. Hernandez, and Tim J. Mey
In April 2021, the UNM Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) opened its building 24/7 via badge access to affiliated students, faculty, and staff of the UNM Health Sciences Center. This change facilitated better access to study space, WiFi, and computing for students, while allowing for more consistent staffing during business hours. Data from before the change indicated reference services were rarely utilized after regular business hours. Concentrating staffing during business hours has allowed for more even staffing, providing a higher and more consistent level of service. HSLIC has also been able to recruit and retain more qualified candidates for its desk positions. This poster highlights building usage data since moving to 24/7 and also summarize lessons learned from the project.

Autonomous Space: Incorporating Concepts of Questioning into a Wellness Room
Varina A. Kosovich and Kelleen Maluski
When we discuss critical pedagogy much focus is given to the classroom and consultations, but at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) we have incorporated critical pedagogy into all our spaces. This incorporation extended to the creation of a wellness room for our users. Considering that “The prevalence of depressive symptoms among (health sciences) students was 12.9%, significantly higher than in the general population, and was 16.1% among female students versus 8.1% among males” and incorporating feedback from our users we believed that a space for private decompression and spiritual connection would be useful.* While we are aware that there are many systems of oppression within academia and the health sciences, and wellness cannot be shifted onto the individual, we wanted to provide resources to offset the typically high cost of wellness supplies, especially since we are located in a state that has a high level of poverty at a neoliberal institution with an extremely diverse population, including many first-generation students. With all of this in mind and engaging with concepts of anti-oppressive practice, feminist ethics of care, and considering the intersecting identities of our users, we worked to create a seed funding proposal to pilot a wellness room within the library. When the proposal was approved, work began to create an inclusive space that would help our users break down traditional concepts of work and study. Much consideration was given to the expressed needs of those with dis/abilities and neurodiversity and the concept of autonomous space. In this presentation we will discuss the decision making process, requesting a budget, the creation of the space, marketing, feedback received from users, and plans for updating and improving the space. There will be a substantial amount of time for Q&A after the presentation.
