OPPORTUNITY 

 

Entering our libraries – virtual and physical – our students and faculty feel the world at their fingertips, the knowledge of the ages and the potential of the future. Librarians and staff work closely with students and faculty in every discipline and in the spaces where they intersect.  Our best innovations happen through collaboration – across the library, with our faculties and schools, and through our regional, national and international partnerships. Here the employment experience is diverse and interesting. 

 

Reporting to the Head Law Librarian, Queen’s University Library (QUL) as part of the Law Faculty Liaison Unit, and working closely with the Course Development Team at the Faculty of Law, the Research and Instruction Librarian (Law) &amp; Online Learning Specialist plays a key role in supporting the development and delivery of the Faculty of Law’s online and blended programs.

Along with supporting traditional legal research, the librarian will also play a key role in exploring and supporting new and emerging legal research methods, particularly those related to data. As part of a highly motivated team, the librarian provides consulting and research services to all Queen’s legal researchers; delivers instruction sessions related to legal research; participates in the development and maintenance of web pages, Libguides, course materials, and other learning objects; contributes to collection development, maintenance, and stewardship activities, including special projects; and participates in project groups in the library and Faculty of Law. The librarian supports the library and Faculty of Law in aligning our work with the University’s anti-racism, diversity and inclusion priorities, and Truth and Reconciliation efforts.

The position encompasses the full range of academic responsibilities as outlined in section 15.1.1 of the QUFA Collective Agreement.

The full position description including qualifications can be found here.
