Toronto, Canada Toronto Metropolitan Full time

**About Toronto Metropolitan**:
At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is on a transformative path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university. Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current academic plan outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our next chapter.

**About the Department**:
The University Libraries are vital to learning, teaching, and scholarly, research and creative activities at the University. Its primary role is to collect, organize, preserve, disseminate, and provide access to essential information resources. The Libraries collaborate across all parts of the University to foster critical thinkers and lifelong learners.

The Libraries’ collection consists of over one million items including: 523,000 ebooks and 467,000 print books; 104,000 e-journals, as well as access to databases, datasets and video collections for streaming. These holdings reflect the breadth of programs available at the University. Electronic resources can be accessed on-site through library computers or laptops that have wireless connectivity. Authorized users can also gain access from off-campus locations.

The Libraries support an extensive information literacy program that is designed to build students’ university-level research skills. This program includes on-site research support, chat reference, and specialized classroom instruction at the course level.

The Libraries are committed to the TRC Calls to Action and are actively exploring ways to decolonize our work and these efforts are further supported by the Mash Koh Wee Kah Pooh Win (Standing Strong Task Force) recommendations and the University’s in process renaming initiative. Our ongoing commitment to equity and community inclusion continue to shape and reaffirm our values and priorities as Libraries and as a University.
