Please excuse multiple-posting. This is a new position at Kresge Library Services of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). Business Curriculum Librarian: https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/239299/business-curriculum-library The Position is currently posted until September 25th, but we intend to leave it open until November 11th, 2023. The focus of the position is to provide support for faculty to select and explore new cases and learning objects for their classes. Many faculty use the same cases year in and year out. Our goal in doing this is to have a member of our team who can work directly with faculty and explore additional options. Typically we send them to Harvard for an assessment of their syllabus - but that only drives to the Harvard and Harvard-represented resources. My hope is that we will start using more OER (Open Educational Resources) that do not require students to purchase for access. The librarian will also work with reference and action-learning, so that is good. This is the key summary of the position: The Business Curriculum Librarian will provide a full range of information support in a service-oriented business reference environment. This new position will work with faculty at the Ross School and staff in Kresge Learning Services to ensure that resources are available for Ross classes. These resources may be available through online course materials, through the school's CMS (Course Management System), or distributed in class. This librarian will work with faculty to provide options for course materials (cases, articles, and simulations) for their class. Provide reference assistance and participate in instructional and outreach programs related to course materials and curriculum resources. This position is a 12-month, 100% effort, non-tenure track appointment reporting to the Library Director. You will be a member of LEO-GLAM (also known as AFT Local 6244) and the rules of employment are established by the UM|LEO-GLAM Collective Bargaining Agreement 2022-2025. --full listing-- How to Apply A cover letter is required for consideration for this position and should be attached as the first page of your resume.
