As you (faculty) matriculate through your career, you will need to continually increase your knowledge, evolve your skills, and perhaps even shift your focus areas. To help you, the Clemson Libraries now offers a guide that highlights faculty resources (click here). This makes it easier for you to locate books that provide productivity tips for those in early career, perspectives on navigating mid-career faculty experience, leadership and management, teaching effectiveness, productivity and time management, writing, publishing and presenting, creative and critical thinking. In addition, the guide also showcases journals with recent students related to faculty success, persistence, etc. The resources are organized both by type and faculty career stage as defined here:
- Early career: faculty who have not yet finished their probationary years of employment
- Mid career: between the end of probationary years and 7-10 yrs prior to retirement
- Late career: less than 7-10 years before retirement
