Teaching and Learning Librarian
Albertsons Library, Boise State University
Albertsons Library invites applications and nominations for a Teaching and Learning Librarian. We seek an innovative and creative teacher passionate about undergraduate learning and student success to join our Instruction and Research Services Unit. In collaboration with the unit, and in partnership with our Multimedia Development and User Experience Librarian and our Library Academic Programs Coordinator, this librarian will design and deliver instruction, programming, and other services for first-year, transfer, and undergraduate students needing academic assistance. In addition to this work with students, this librarian will serve on the Research and Critical Inquiry Microcourse Team, promote student success efforts within the Library, participate in the delivery of the unit’s reference services, and help shape library-wide teaching and learning efforts as a member of the Library Instruction Team.
Department:
Albertsons Library provides high-quality, relevant information and services to Boise State students, faculty, staff, and the community. Conveniently located in the center of campus, we serve as a vibrant, nurturing hub where people and diverse ideas flourish. The Library offers access to electronic and physical collections, technology, creative making spaces, archival materials and university history, and both quiet and collaborative study spaces. Skilled staff and librarians provide instruction and research assistance in person, virtually, and in group settings. We support teaching, learning, and research at Boise State University by facilitating the use of knowledge, information, and services.
The Library’s Instruction and Research Services Unit values education, research and learning. We seek to guide our community through the complex 21st-century information landscape. To accomplish this goal, the unit teaches in a variety of settings and formats. Since 2018 the unit has delivered information literacy instruction to first-year and early undergraduate students through an asynchronous online Research and Critical Inquiry Microcourse embedded in Boise State’s initial University Foundations course. Over 3,000 students complete this Canvas course each year to earn their “I Am a Researcher” badge. Librarians reinforce and build on the skills taught in the Microcourse as they teach information literacy within the disciplines, in the Library’s ASK (Access Service Knowledge) unified service area, and in one-on-one consultations.
