<p class="MsoNormal">Tulane University seeks an imaginative and enthusiastic professional for the newly-created role of
<b>Assessment and User Experience Librarian</b>. This critical position will approach assessment holistically, using a variety of approaches to examine the library experience of students and faculty. S/he will prepare, administer, and compile results from
surveys, focus groups, and other forms of quantitative or qualitative analyses to enable evidence-based decisions, to aid in planning, and to direct resources to areas of most critical need, all in support of the Library’s strategic directions. The Assessment
and User Experience Librarian will also work with the library’s IT team, the Associate Dean, and front-line public services staff to improve users’ interactions with the library.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The most attractive applicants will have at least 3 years of academic or research library experience, preferably in public services, outreach, or user assessment. Candidates should also have demonstrated experience with assessment tools
and techniques in current use, including the design and execution of surveys and other qualitative or quantitative instruments or techniques. An ALA-accredited MLS or its equivalent will also be required, as will excellent analytical and oral and written
communication skills, a demonstrated ability to use standard software for presentation of survey results, and a demonstrated ability to work effectively with a variety of faculty, staff, and students across the library and the university.<o:p></o:p></p>

protocols, computer-human interaction studies, or similar social science investigation methods. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience. Librarians at Tulane are academic appointees who do not have tenure or faculty
status, but who receive the benefits of faculty, including a choice of health plans, retirement plans, tuition waiver for self, and undergraduate tuition waiver for dependents. Professional travel support is available.
