INTERNATIONAL AND FOREIGN LAW LIBRARIAN
UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, TORONTO, CANADA
This newly created position in the Bora Laskin Law Library offers an
excellent opportunity for an experienced lawyer/librarian to shape
collections and services in international, comparative and foreign law at a
Faculty of Law that is expanding its teaching and research in these areas.
One of the first tasks of the successful candidate will be to assess the
Library's current collection in foreign, comparative and international law
and write a detailed strategy--involving both ownership and access--that
will respond to defined curricular and research needs. Ongoing
responsibilities will include collection development, in-depth reference
and research support services for faculty and students, and participation
in the Library's instructional program as well as in the Faculty's Legal
Research and Writing courses. The librarian will also be responsible for
developing a segment of the Library's Web-based resources and services (see
http://www.law-lib.utoronto.ca).
The successful candidate will have an MLS or equivalent from an accredited
library school and a law degree from a recognized school as well as 5-7
years of reference experience, preferably in an academic law library. The
position requires sound knowledge and expertise in the use of foreign,
comparative and international legal materials, including an understanding
of international organizations. Working knowledge of one or more languages
in addition to English is expected. This is a senior position for a dynamic
and self-motivated individual who is, nevertheless, able to work
effectively as part of a team.
The University offers competitive salaries and benefits; salary will be
commensurate with education and experience. In accordance with its
Employment Equity Policy, the University of Toronto encourages applications
from qualified men and women, members of visible minorities, aboriginal
peoples and persons with disabilities.
