History and Modern Languages Librarian, UML, Miami, FL

Posted July 26, 2018

The University of Miami Libraries (UML) seeks an intellectually curious and highly collaborative librarian for the position of History and Modern Languages Librarian, located in Richter Library’s Learning and Research Services unit, a department providing support for the College of Arts and Sciences and five other schools and colleges (Communication, Education, Engineering, Graduate, and Nursing) at the University of Miami. The librarian serves as UML’s liaison to the Departments of History and Modern Languages and Literatures, in the College of Arts and Sciences, and plays a key role in advancing the UML’s support for an ambitious program of learning and research articulated in the University’s Roadmap To Our New Century. In addition to providing support for faculty researchers and teachers, the History and Modern Languages Librarian assists undergraduate and graduate students as they seek to gain knowledge and skills necessary to conduct research and communicate its results to broad audiences.

Serving as a member of a diverse and engaged team of liaison librarians, information specialists, and peer research consultants (undergraduate and graduate students), the librarian contributes to developing a library that serves as the “heart of learning” at the university by fostering meaningful relationships with faculty and students and supporting the learning and research needs of the university community. The History and Modern Languages Librarian also collaborates actively with librarians in UML’s Special Collections, University Archives, and the Cuban Heritage Collection; librarians who offer services through the Digital Scholarship Lab; and university colleagues in academic service units participating in the Learning Commons, including the Modern Languages Lab, our newest partner in the Commons.
