https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/239299/business-curriculum-library

*The Position is currently posted until November 11th, 2023.*

The focus of the position is to provide support for faculty to select and
explore new cases and learning objects for their classes.  Many faculty use
the same cases year in and year out.  Our goal in doing this is to have a
member of our team who can work directly with faculty and explore
additional options.  My hope is that we will start using more OER (Open
Educational Resources) that do not require students to purchase for
access.  The librarian will also work with reference and action-learning.

This is the key summary of the position:

The Business Curriculum Librarian will provide a full range of information
support in a service-oriented business reference environment.  This new
position will work with faculty at the Ross School and staff in Kresge
Learning Services to ensure that resources are available for Ross classes.
These resources may be available through online course materials, through
the school's CMS (Course Management System), or distributed in class.  This
librarian will work with faculty to provide options for course materials
(cases, articles, and simulations) for their class.  Provide reference
assistance and participate in instructional and outreach programs related
to course materials and curriculum resources.

This position is a 12-month, 100% effort, non-tenure track appointment
reporting to the Library Director. You will be a member of LEO-GLAM (also
known as AFT Local 6244) and the rules of employment are established by the
UM|LEO-GLAM Collective Bargaining Agreement 2022-2025.
