F.   Professional Librarians: Professional librarians at Eastern Mennonite University hold faculty status but without an academic rank designation. As such, professional librarians must meet the academic requirements of faculty teaching at the baccalaureate level. Salaries for professional librarians are calculated on the administrative scale for a 12-month contract. The director of libraries, who reports directly to the provost, supervises all library staff. All professional librarians will have an annual performance evaluation conducted by the director of libraries. With faculty status professional librarians are eligible to apply for professional development opportunities and sabbaticals.
