The Institute of Professional Librarians of Ontario suggests that these guidelines be the minimum requirements for the employment of a registered professional librarian. Under conditions of employment, the guidelines provide for an employment contract, a probation period, job security, and promotion opportunities. Methods are suggested for making appointments and terminating employment. Under conditions of work, a 35-hour work week and a twenty-day paid vacation are recommended. Other types of leave, fringe benefits, evaluation and grievance procedures, and opportunities for continuing education and professional development are also suggested. (PF)
