Part-time Temporary Health Sciences Librarian, Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing (11/20/2018)

I’ve been given permission to find and hire a part-time temporary health sciences librarian to keep the home fires burning while I’m out. The exact hours, duties and salary will depend on the candidate’s availability, background and experience.

Likely duties include: answering reference questions for nursing faculty and students; running literature searches for nursing faculty; assisting new and returning graduate and undergraduate nursing students with literature searches: possibly some ILL, and overseeing print textbook Reserve. There is also the possibility of a special project.

The Nursing LRC will be closed from December 14th, 2018 through January 4th, 2019, so no coverage will be needed over the holidays.

I realize that this is not well defined but those are the general parameters. If you, or someone you know, might be interested, please reply to me, also copying nursinglrc@baylor.edu , the Nursing LRC’s public email box.

Medical Library Manager, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, Dallas (11/16/2018) 
Per Mary Peters - "For now it will be a 30 hour position rather than 40, but it is eligible for benefits. I work heavily with online journals and we are in the process of paring down the physical books and journals to revamp the space, so the coming years will be an exciting time of change. We have a separate Family Resource Center run by a medical librarian, too, so the new librarian will have a very helpful colleague. They have now posted my position and we invite applications! We hope to fill it quickly. Scottish Rite is a wonderful place to work. The Medical Library is at the Dallas location on Oak Lawn."
