Policies and Procedures (P&P)
THIS WEBSITE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION – not all pieces have been finished yet, but will be uploaded at the earliest opportunity!
The Libraries’ Human Resources Policies, Guidelines and Procedures are sometimes different from those at the University level. Please check here for information about the libraries’ employment-related policies.
Libraries’ employees and team leaders/work team leaders in particular need to understand and be familiar with the libraries’ policies and procedures and utilize best practices whenever possible. Where policies are not absolutely required, they are called “guidelines” and are highly encouraged to be followed. Consistency and uniformity in application across the libraries’ teams is helpful to ensuring fair use and non-discrimination.

Policies vs. Guidelines
- Policies: a definite course of action is required to be used; i.e. must be followed.
- Guidelines: offer highly recommended courses of action, usually considered "best practices". Guidelines offer latitude to allow team leaders to make exceptions under unique individual circumstances. Team leaders make this decision, not individuals.
- See the MROC PowerPoint of January 2008 for further clarification of how the UA Libraries policies are aligned with University and other policy authorities.
