Please use these categories in the manner you feel best applies to your library. If any individual has responsibilities described by more than one of the above categories, choose the category that is most typical of his/her general duties. Choose ONE job code for employees with dual appointments or shared responsibilities. Such individuals should be listed on the salary survey only once. Associate or Assistant Director, or Head, Other Branch. Use this code for all persons responsible for the management of a separate facility, regardless of the area of specialty. If an assistant or associate director is also head of a department in such a facility, choose the category that most reflects the general duties of the person currently in the position. Department Heads. Department Heads not specifically included in the above list should be included under the category “Head, Other Department/Service/Agency.” Head, Catalog Department should be used either for the department that handles all cataloging, or for the head of a specialized cataloging unit (e.g. copy cataloging or foreign languages). List the head of library technology and computer systems, applications, programming, etc. as HDCOMP unless that person is also an Associate or Assistant Director, in which case use the appropriate administrative code. If there is an intermediate level of management between an Associate or Assistant Director and the professionals who actually carry out the analysis, programming, etc., use HDCOMP to define that intermediate level. Professionals who carry out programming should be listed as digital specialists (DIGITALSPEC). Special note concerning Assistant Department Heads. Assistant Department Heads who are responsible for major units and spend the bulk of their time in supervision and revision of the work of others should also be listed as “Head, Other Department/Service/Agency.” See additional sub-codes below for Head, Cataloging, and Head, Other Department. However, Assistant Head positions responsible for small units or for supervision only in the absence of the Department Head should be reported as non-supervisory or specialist positions as appropriate.
