ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the issues facing faculty who are up for tenure and/or promotion and review and the corresponding issues with which their evaluators must grapple in reviewing their formal tenure, promotion, and review documents. An interdisciplinary review of the literature on teaching with technology and electronic scholarship, and its place within the tenure, promotion, and review process, was conducted from March 2000 through August 2002. Information technology encompasses all facets of digital and technological instruction and publishing, including distance education, electronic publications, and teaching with technology. The American Association for History and Computing (AAHC) conducts a survey in the spring of 2000 of current tenure, promotion, and review practices regarding technology-related activities in the history departments of United States universities. From the results of the effort, AAHC created a draft policy. There have been no significant developments toward formulating a core set of measures or assessments for promotion decisions affecting academic librarians within the Association of Research Libraries (ARL).
