- Public Service support : Support patrons in using library resources and answer inquiries in a timely and friendly manner.

- Special projects : under the supervision of one of the Librarians, the Library Assistant will work to enhance the library collection (special focus on cataloging and maintaining resources), support institutional repository metadata development and ingestions, and contribute to library programs and events. The successful candidate may also select other projects or areas of growth based on their own areas of interest.
- A diploma from a 2-year Library Technician program is required; academic library experience is preferred.
- Knowledge of cataloguing and preference for candidates with original cataloguing experience.
- Ability to see multiple tasks through completion with minimal supervision.
- Experience working with international students.
- Outstanding oral/written communication and interpersonal skills are imperative.
- A strong commitment to public service.
- Warm and calm demeanour.
