The Library seeks an innovative and 'techie' liaison librarian for the College's North campus to support teaching, learning, and research in the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness and with Research and Innovation.

A central part of the role is teaching information and digital literacy competencies to learners based on course learning outcomes and in consultation with instructors, with the goal of integrating and scaffolding content throughout curricula.

With a focus on active learning and student engagement, the Librarian uses teaching methods and develops learning objects grounded in the Universal Design for Learning framework.

Teaching modalities may range from in-person synchronous learning to hybrid and online asynchronous modules.

In collaboration with Research and Innovation, the Librarian will support researchers by sharing best practices in literature searches, citation management, and publishing.

The incumbent will also assist in implementing Humber's research data management strategy, including providing support for data management plans (DMPs).

The Librarian is part of the research help team, assisting students, faculty, and staff with accessing and using library resources via our in-person, video, and chat/text (askON) service points.

The incumbent accommodates individual and small group consultations with students and faculty who require research assistance.

Developing and maintaining collections in all formats, and completing library assessments for new and renewed programs, in assigned liaison areas are also part of the role.

The Librarian builds relationships with faculty and administrators to facilitate awareness of library services and to learn about library-related needs and opportunities for collaboration.

Working with the librarian and library administrative teams, the incumbent participates in service delivery and content development outside their liaison areas to support students' academic success (e.g. academic integrity and citation supports).
