CEP: Career Employee Program

Program Requirements

Participants are expected to achieve five competencies within two years of starting the program. The CEP Board must pre-approve all competencies.

1. Complete two undergraduate SIS classes (for instance, SIS 101 and SIS 102) or, with Board approval, SIS graduate classes. Courses must be taken for credit.

2. Complete two training workshops. One must be library-specific. Each workshop must be a minimum of 4 hours and approved in advance by the Board. (Examples: SOLINET or library association pre-conference workshops.) Submit a one-page written report within two weeks of completing the workshop.

3. Participate in two library conferences. Within two weeks following the conference, submit a one-page written report to the Board outlining your participation as a planner/worker.

4. Serve on two standing committees, either library or university. Submit a one-page written report telling what contributions you made to the work of the committee. The chair of the committee should submit a letter to the Board verifying that you have been an active participant of the group. Time spent on committee work is considered released time.

5. Complete two significant library-related projects approved by the Board. For example, prepare papers, articles, publish book reviews, make presentations. Any task fulfilling these competencies must demonstrate a sufficient degree of scholarship.
