[Sigdl-l] Job Posting: Foundational Experiences Librarian

[ASIS&T SIG DL]

The Robert E. Kennedy Library at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA, seeks an
energetic, creative, collaborative, user-focused professional to join us in
a new tenure-track faculty position as Foundational Experiences Librarian.
We are looking for someone with a passion for teaching who is willing to
experiment with and deliver creative and effective instruction, both in the
classroom and online; and who can create outreach programming that focuses
on diverse student and prospective student audiences.

The Foundational Experiences Librarian will develop programming, both
instructional and recreational, to support the development of competencies
and literacies that are the underpinning of a successful comprehensive
polytechnic education. Under the direction of the Associate University
Librarian for Academic Services, this new position supports the library's
mission of promoting open and informed inquiry and fostering collaboration
and innovation, by leading the library's program of instructional outreach
and services delivered through General Education (GE) courses in both
physical and virtual learning environments. Through collaboration with
various stakeholders, including our college librarians, this position will
design and manage the integration of online learning modules and tutorials
to broaden the reach of library instruction beyond the physical classroom.

This position also provides leadership, development, support, and
assessment of student instructional contributions delivered by the LibRATs,
our peer-to-peer learning technicians who provide reference at our Research
Help Desk and lead sessions for lower division General Education courses.

Working closely with various library units and strategic partners,
including Student Affairs, Admissions, Advising, Marketing, and other
campus offices, partners and community members, this position leads the
development and implementation of outreach and programs, both virtually and
face to face, for new members of the Cal Poly community: prospective and
first year students and families, as well transfer students and
international students. This position will also coordinate instructional
support to Cal Poly's Summer Institute and Educational Opportunity students
in collaboration with the Kennedy Inclusive Culture Committee (KICC).
Creative and promotional talents will allow this position to work with the
library's user experience and communication teams to develop materials as
well as coordinate and advance the library's "whole student" programs. This
position will be part of a team of librarians who are committed to
improving instructional effectiveness to advance student success.

The successful candidate will be an effective teacher who uses creative
pedagogical strategies, and who is adept at building relationships across
the disciplines and with a variety of stakeholders.

Candidates will demonstrate strategic and tactical capability in creating
and implementing outreach programs through events and virtual and written
communications. Collaboration skills, organization skills, attention to
detail, and the ability to communicate well across various audiences are
essential. The successful candidate will have a record of being a highly
collaborative self starter.
