The Boston University Law Libraries Research Services department is dedicated to serving our students and ensuring they have exceptional research skills upon leaving the law school. We are looking for someone who can build our relationship with students. A social media savvy librarian with an interest in marketing who can administer several large student-focused events, liaise with student government and student organizations, and coordinate the Library's services for students would be an important asset to our team. All Research Services librarians teach research in the Lawyering program partnered with a Lawyering faculty member. The Library also teaches research in the LLM writing program, has a popular Certification program, and encourages librarians to teach for-credit research courses. Additionally, we also work with liaison faculty and a liaison journal providing research support to faculty and source coordination and note development support to the journal. We have a highly collaborative team with six legal information librarians and the Associate Director. We plan our curricula together, meet regularly to strategize, and help each other with reference questions. Each of us serves as a liaison to faculty, student journals, and law school departments. We have moved to a virtual reference desk and are looking for innovative ideas for reaching out to students. Team members are eligible for remote work, and number days varies depending on the time of the year. Join a great team of motivated, supportive, and interesting librarians.
