Located in North Carolina’s third largest city, UNC Greensboro is among the most diverse, learner-centered public research universities in the state, with nearly 18,000 students in eight colleges and schools pursuing more than 150 areas of undergraduate and over 200 areas of graduate study. UNCG continues to be recognized nationally for academic excellence, access, and affordability. UNCG is ranked No. 1 most affordable institution in North Carolina for net cost by the N.Y. Times and No. 1 in North Carolina for social mobility by The Wall Street Journal — helping first-generation and lower-income students find paths to prosperity. Designated an Innovation and Economic Prosperity University by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, UNCG is a community-engaged research institution with a portfolio of more than $67M in research and creative activity. The University’s 1,100 faculty and 1,700 staff help create an annual economic impact for the Piedmont Triad region in excess of $1B.

The Research, Outreach, and Instruction department (ROI) supports the teaching mission of UNCG by providing research assistance and information literacy instruction. ROI is the administrative home of most of the liaison librarians. Each department on campus has a liaison librarian who works with that department to provide information literacy instruction, in-depth research consultations, research assignment design, and collection development.

The Liaison Librarian will serve as a liaison to several academic departments at UNCG, with a focus on the humanities. In this role, they will teach course-integrated information literacy sessions, provide research assistance to the students and faculty in their liaison areas, provide support for the Libraries’ participation in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), instruct students and faculty in the use of digital primary source material, including government information and digitized historical periodicals, and assist with collection management. They will also contribute to the Libraries’ active student success and outreach efforts.
