This position also has a liaison role with the School of Information, building collections and supporting research methodologies such as computational text analysis, data visualization, and machine learning.
Responsibilities
Reporting to the Head of the Instruction Services Division,
the Digital Literacies Librarian will further the Library’s digital literacy
initiative (Level Up) by working with colleagues in the Library and engaging
with campus partners. This librarian will play a key role in supporting
information literacy and emerging research methods across the disciplines,
partnering with colleagues who have expertise in these areas (e.g. Data
Initiatives Expertise Group, Data and GIS Librarians, Digital Humanities
Librarian) and campus partners (e.g. D-Lab, Academic Innovation Studio,
Research IT, Research Data Management). Collaborations will be leveraged to
identify, implement, and promote entry-level research support services for
undergraduate users. This librarian will actively participate in the Library’s
reference and instructional services—providing in-person reference, virtual
reference, individual research consultations, in-person classes, and the
development of online instructional content. This librarian will provide
consultation and training to students, faculty, and librarians on using digital
tools and techniques to enhance their research and to improve teaching and
learning. Serving as a liaison to the I School, this position will establish
strong relationships with faculty and graduate students and gain insights into
trends in information studies that can be incorporated into the library’s
instructional portfolio, with a special focus on undergraduates.
Working with colleagues in ISD and across the Library, the
Digital Literacies Librarian will develop innovative programs and services. A
key pedagogical tactic is promoting peer-to-peer learning for undergraduates,
including administering the Library Undergraduate Fellows program. The Fellows
program provides students with training and networking opportunities while
helping the Library experiment and pilot service models to best support
emerging scholars. New service models are piloted in the Center for Connected
Learning (CCL) beta site in Moffitt Library. Currently in the design phase, the
CCL is a hub for undergraduates to engage in multidisciplinary, multimodal
inquiry and creation. Students learn from peers and experts as they ask, seek,
and find answers to their questions in an environment unbound by disciplines or
domain expertise. Students discover possibilities for learning and research by
experimenting directly with new methods and tools. The space is run in
partnership with students, and they are empowered to influence service and
space design, structure, and policies. The Digital Literacies Librarian will
contribute to this ethos by ensuring that emerging scholars are supported to
experiment and be connected to the Library’s wealth of scholarly resources and
programs.
