Under the direction of the Director of CSN Libraries, and in coordination with the faculty librarians, CSN Libraries seeks to hire a forward-thinking, innovative, and collaborative Instruction and Reference Librarian. The librarian is primarily responsible for in-person, virtual and embedded information literacy instruction; providing student-centered research assistance in varying modalities; and print and electronic collection development for the humanities and other disciplines, as assigned. The librarian works collaboratively with faculty to integrate information competency skills into courses, participates in the assessment of library services that positively impact student learning and success, and creates and maintains engaging online learning content in concert with other librarians and library staff.

CSN Libraries consist of librarians and staff who serve on and complete work through small, flexible library teams focused on areas such as: assessment, management of the library service platform, collection development, communications/outreach/marketing, managing online content (library website), delivering library instruction, and equity/diversity/inclusion. As a part of the tenure-track academic faculty, CSN Librarians actively serve the College at the campus level, including participating in the Faculty Senate, serving or leading campus-wide committees, and participating in CSN task forces. The successful candidate will be a student-oriented person who enjoys engaging in service activities at the campus level through participation on college-wide committees and other campus initiatives. Providing all library services through a lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion is a strategic priority for CSN Libraries. The library seeks candidates who are equally dedicated to this initiative, and who seek to provide library services to a variety of student populations, contributing to the library's presence as a welcoming place for the entire CSN community.

This librarian will have the opportunity to work and collaborate with all the instruction librarians in a team-based environment in an effort to continually assess and improve instructional activities. Mentorship, training, and other professional development opportunities are available and encouraged.
