Baron Perlman & Lee I.. McCann

Written for faculty recruitment committees, department chairs, deans, administrators, and those seeking academic positions, this practical book is rich in valuable advice for all those involved in the process of recruiting good teaching faculty. Organized into three parts (educational context, goof teaching and scholarship, and the search), this manual is designed so each chapter can stand alone and the reader can seek information as needed during the search. Each chapter includes hands-on exercises, checklists, references, and recommended readings, thus helping to ensure a fair, organized, and comprehensive faculty recruitment process. This is an essential resource for anyone involved in recruiting college faculty.

'I think this book is chock-a-block full of good and useful information. '
