University of Notre Dame Libraries Librarian-in-Residence Program 
  
The Hesburgh Libraries and Kresge Law Library of Notre Dame seek applicants
who will contribute effectively to the diversity of the profession and the
University. Applicants from racial and ethnic minorities are particularly
encouraged to apply. The Librarian-in-Residence program offers recent
library school graduates the opportunity to experience various aspects of
academic librarianship. Those working in other types of libraries but now
considering a move to academic librarianship may also apply. In the first
year of the two-year program, the successful candidate will gain experience
within at least two areas, including legal research and application of
computer technology to library programs and services. The second year will
be predicated on the needs of the Libraries as well as interests of the
Librarian-in-Residence. Candidates who demonstrate flexibility in
professional interests and could advance the Libraries' strategic goals are
highly desired. (See these strategic goals at:
<http://www.nd.edu/~adminoff/strategic/StratPlan04.pdf>
http://www.nd.edu/~adminoff/strategic/StratPlan04.pdf) The Libraries
particularly welcome those with an interest in the areas of: e-resources,
music librarianship, or engineering libraries. Opportunities will be
afforded for the resident to make contributions to the profession through
conference participation, scholarship, committee assignments, and
specialized training. The libraries have one opening for a two-year
post-graduate appointment beginning 1 July 2010. The appointee will report
administratively to Laura Bayard, Librarian.
