Except where modified by this Agreement, the document entitled "The Classification, Promotion Requirements and Salary Scale of Librarians", Appendix A of this Agreement, shall remain in force during the life of the Agreement.
The normal hours of work for librarians with regular full-time appointments shall total thirty-five (35) hours per week, which shall be scheduled on a fair and equitable basis to meet the operating needs of the Library.
A Librarian member with less than ten (10) years service shall be entitled to twenty-two (22) working days of vacation, without loss of pay, during each year of employment. After ten (10) years of service this entitlement becomes twenty-five (25) working days. Where the employment during the year is less than twelve (12) months, or on a part-time basis, such entitlements shall be pro-rated accordingly. The University Librarian shall schedule vacations in order to give the greatest possible consideration to the preferences of librarian members, taking into account the functioning of academic programs and the needs of students.
The position of University Librarian, when vacant, shall be duly advertised in appropriate Canadian publications, including the CAUT Bulletin and Feliciter, and electronic distribution media relevant to librarians as established by the University Librarian in consultation with the Librarians' Committee, and these shall be placed so as to allow sufficient time for applications to receive due consideration.
The University Librarian shall be appointed by the President on the advice of a Search Committee which shall include at least two (2) members who are librarians.
The position of University Librarian shall not be used for redeployment of faculty members unless the procedures as outlined above have first been carried to completion.
Where librarians are appointed to administrative office or as members of the Board of Governors and are excluded by definition from the bargaining unit, they shall be deemed eligible for consideration by the Library Personnel Committee, COAP, and the University Librarian for career development decisions, including merit awards, on the basis of their professional achievements over that period. Where an academic administrator or librarian member on the Board of Governors is awarded a merit award, such shall be in addition to the number provided for in III.9.2.1.
