3 Openings

The University of Minnesota is engaged in a strategic process, 
strengthening its position as a top public research university. Important 
themes emerging from the process include student engagement and research 
opportunities, interdisciplinary-collaboration, integration of writing in 
the curriculum, and new approaches to Honors programs.

In order to better position the Libraries within the University’s planning, 
a new department, Coordinated Educational Services (CES), is being created 
within the Academic Programs Division of the University Libraries.   The 
Libraries are looking for three innovative and energetic individuals to 
complete a current staff of six librarians and para-professionals.

This new department will be on the cutting edge of the development and 
coordination of library tools and services used by faculty, students, and 
staff across campus.   Core products and services under the CES umbrella 
include learning spaces, digital reference, instruction/orientation, online 
tools, and multicultural outreach.   CES will also provide Libraries’ staff 
with consultation, training and assistance in development of 
discipline-based instructional literacy programs and digital tools.

Required qualifications include a Masters' degree from an ALA accredited 
library school or an advanced degree with relevant experience; excellent 
communication, presentation and interpersonal skills; demonstrated 
creativity, initiative and self-direction; ability to respond effectively 
to changing needs and priorities; ability to work both independently and in 
cooperation with colleagues and library users in a service-oriented, 
collaborative environment; skills in at least some portion of the skill set 
listed above.  Preferred qualifications include experience developing 
information literacy programs and/or librarian training in information 
literacy; experience developing working partnerships with campus staff and 
other campus communities; experience in integrating new technologies into 
the delivery of information services; basic familiarity with computer 
programming strong web development skills; demonstrated involvement in 
professional activities.
