Reference Librarian
Highline College (located in Des Moines, Washington) is recruiting a full-time, 9 month tenure-track faculty position for a Reference Librarian (link) starting fall quarter, September 19, 2018. The reference librarian will provide research and reference assistance and individualized instruction to students, faculty, staff, and the public. The reference librarian will teach information literacy to students in variety of classes across the curriculum. As a member of the reference department, the librarian will share responsibility for collection development. The reference department is instrumental in leading open educational resources (OER) use and expansion. The reference librarian is service oriented, requiring excellent social, communication, and collaboration skills.
Please note: Librarians develop and teach online credit classes in the Library & Information Services program but only teach a single credit class per academic year.
