The following guidelines will be considered:

1.The staff members' productivity and quality of work consistently exceed satisfactory levels.

2. A project is proposed which

* draws on special expertise of the individual
* can be expected to make a significant contribution to the profession
OR can be expected to make a significant contribution to the Libraries' services
* can be expected to require so much time that it would not be possible to carry it out while fulfilling the obligations of the position held
* includes a plan to share the results within the Libraries or the Institute.

3. The department head presents a credible plan for covering the individuals absence.
