Metropolitan
College of New York (MCNY), an innovative, non-profit college that
provides a unique educational model, driven by its social justice
mission,
seeks an Instruction & Digital Services Librarian whose passions
align with the college’s core mission. MCNY’s academic program aims to

technology. At both locations the I/DSL will provide
deep, student-centered reference support, develop and teach in-class
critical information literacy sessions, (both standalone classes and as
part of our growing embedded instruction program) and assist with
collection development, library programming, maintaining
e-resources, copy cataloging and assessment initiatives. Everyone in
our library works together to foster a culture of collaboration,
empowerment and critical thinking.
