Abstract
This article addresses the phenomenon of performance evaluation and performance appraisal as it applies to collection development librarians and the manner in which such specific evaluation is placed within a general organizational mode of performance apprarsal. The position is taken that "performance appraisal" is tied to the rational-bureaucratic model of organizational behavior and is subject to corruption, personalism, and various manifestations of machiavellianism-all of which the model is expected to limit or eliminate. While "performance appraisal" is required for organizational control, the author suggests it be understood with and in the context of "performance consultation." The article also outlines basic performance criteria for collection development librarians.
