GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• The Doyle and Mahoney Libraries of Santa Rosa Junior College are seeking a pool of qualified candidates with demonstrated instructional skills in reference and the online or face-to-face classroom to join an outstanding team of faculty and administrators to provide high quality programs and services to our district, our community, and most importantly to our students. Reference and teaching assignments may be temporary, part­-time and/or on-­call and may be immediate or as needed (as specified in Education Code Section 87482.5).Candidates who are recommended for the pool after committee interviews will only be added to the pool for disciplines interviewed and qualified for (not necessarily all disciplines included in this job postings where multiple disciplines are listed).  Assignments may include reference desk shift work and/or teaching information literacy in traditional and online classes.

DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION

• The Library and Information Resources Department at Santa Rosa Junior College provides a diverse array of instructional support services district­wide. There are two library facilities: Doyle Library at the Santa Rosa campus and Mahoney Library at the Petaluma campus. Instructional collections  include  over 380,000 books and e­books, over 40 online databases and a discovery search interface. The library instructional program teaches a one-unit course, both online and face-to-face, that emphasizes instruction in the areas of information literacy. There are over 900 students enrolled per semester, and faculty librarians teach all classes. In addition, both libraries maintain reference services that are staffed by faculty librarians. These services include day, evening, weekend, and extended hour shifts.

• Instructional Librarians: Instructional Librarians must have the ability to teach online or face-to-face.

 Examples of Duties:

• Assignments could involve full or partial assignment at any of the District's sites or off-campus locations, and could involve any combination of day or evening classes with office hours being mandatory.

Optionally, adjunct faculty are encouraged to have some participation in updating existing courses (including courses that serve community needs, such as short, non-credit, or on-line courses); assisting in the assessment of student learning outcomes; participating in department activities and other college service such as committee work; and participating in community outreach on behalf of the college.
