Welcome

The Library Personnel Office at the University of North Carolina is responsible for managing the recruitment, hiring, and retention of library staff; coordinating programs for performance review, salary review, classification review, and promotion; overseeing management development and staff training activities; interpreting personnel policies and procedures; and counseling staff.

Linda Drake, Director of Library Personnel, has primary responsibility for employee relations, the orientation program for new staff, and the Carolina Academic Library Associates program. She provides support for library employee recognition programs, library staff development and training opportunities, and represents the University Library in various forms.

Tiffany Allen, Personnel Librarian, serves on all search committees for professional positions and has responsibility for coordinating activities associated with librarians' governance, such as elections and the process for achieving continuing appointment and promotion. The Personnel Librarian maintains a close working relationship with the other human resources professionals on campus and communicates regularly with the human resources offices at other major research libraries. Tiffany Allen is also professionally active with service to committees and speaking and publishing on library human resources issues.

Sonya Harris, the LPO's Personnel Technician, and Christa Call, Personnel Assistant, administer the human resources program for support staff, temporary staff, research assistant, and student assistant positions. This includes recruitment and retention, classification and compensation, and management of the salary budget.

LPO staff handle personnel matters equitably, sensitively, and confidentially and we work to foster an inclusive, progressive, and satisfying workplace in the University Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
