Abstract: Peer review is a core principle in faculty personnel systems, and inherent in this concept of peer review is the understanding that faculty work should be judged by disciplinary experts and colleagues, as well as by students and administrators. Successful peer review demands a level of responsibility, confidentiality, and professional judgment that is crucial to the legitimacy of the process. Discussion of peer review is particularly timely as a substantial percentage of library faculty will retire in the next five years and a new generation of colleagues will replace them. In this talk, Reichel will discuss key issues and questions in relation to peer review including preparation for peer review; peer review in teaching assessments; the impact of technology on peer review; and the credibility of the peer review process.
