Key Responsibilities
Primary Assignment (85%)
Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) faculty work strategically to support research and creativity, enhance learning, and build community for the students, faculty, and staff of Oregon State and for the citizens of Oregon. Their work has a demonstrable impact on the three main pillars of OSU’s mission: teaching and learning, research and inquiry, and outreach and engagement. OSULP faculty apply specialized expertise from library and information science, archival studies, and related fields to ensure that the Oregon State community has rich, organized, affordable, accessible, and inclusive information resources to help the OSU community learn new things, solve difficult problems, investigate important questions, and create knowledge. They also work to create or support the administrative and physical infrastructure that enables delivery of high-quality services. OSULP faculty support the educational mission of the university, both directly and indirectly, by building the dynamic, engaging collections, services, and spaces that foster independent inquiry and learning. They develop and nurture relationships with colleagues, inside the library and out, to support and enrich their work and they participate in the shared governance of OSULP and OSU. They strive to understand the diverse communities they serve, and work to make OSULP an inclusive, just organization. To support all of this, OSULP faculty engage in regular, critical reflection on practice to understand the impact of their work and to dismantle harmful assumptions. Performance in the primary assignment is evaluated annually in a structured, reflective conversation between the faculty member and their direct supervisor.
The specific duties and expectations for the FRA include:
Professional development and service (15%)
OSULP faculty serve as engaged participants in the shared work of the Libraries and Press and in the shared governance of Oregon State University. As faculty members at a land grant university, they engage in service to shape and strengthen the library and archival professions in Oregon and beyond, and to benefit the citizens of Oregon. Service commitments are usually closely aligned with daily practice in the primary assignment and should allow the faculty member to: 1) share the expertise developed through their practice with colleagues in the library, on campus, and throughout their professional communities; and 2) engage in conversations and contribute to projects that will inform and enrich their practice. OSULP faculty may, from time to time, undertake service that does not directly align with their primary assignment but that does tap an area of interest or expertise or willingness that they possess. These commitments, however, should not dominate their service portfolio. OSULP faculty should be able to demonstrate the impact of their work on both personal and institutional levels.
The specific duties and expectations for the FRA include:
