Campus Relationship Matrix
This matrix is neither comprehensive nor static, but simply an attempt to capture what work we believe should be valued and to assist us in measuring our progress.
Each of the work examples has been placed in one of three levels. While it would be more accurate to place these examples on a spectrum or continuum from passive to collaborative, for the purpose of organizational change measurement, these three levels have been defined as:
Relationship/Engagement LevelsEmergent = basic/foundational w/ some interaction
Generative = building a trust relationship; beyond basic, but not fully immersed in collaborative work
Productive = collaborative partnership, time consuming/difficult, work that truly highlights how librarians contribute our unique expertise in support of teaching, learning, and research.
Products of Productive Relationships• Co-designed research project assignment that is
used across all majors of the business college• Authored library section of successful, national grant• Elected office-holder of disciplinary scholarly society• Earned a PhD• Co-developed online multimedia textbook• Co-created and supervised a for-credit internship
