                                                FOUR FACULTY OPENINGS

The Palmer School of Library and Information Science is searching for four
faculty members to join an exciting team at Long Island University (LIU).  All
positions are tenure track.  We are looking for faculty who excel in the
classroom and who are (or have the potential to be) catalysts in the
profession through their research and leadership.  Successful candidates will
be energized by a collegial and creative environment, will thrive on
initiating and contributing to change, and will be student-centered.  An
earned doctorate (or one very near completion) is required.

Two positions are in library and information science broadly defined.  Of
particular interest are scholars whose teaching and research interests address
one or more of the following:

  ·	Information policy and socio-political, legal, and economic aspects of
information;
  ·	Information retrieval and human/information system interaction;
  ·	Knowledge representation and knowledge management;
  ·	Digital libraries and electronic publishing;
  ·	Other related disciplines such as telecommunications or computer science

and who enjoy a strong background in information technology.

One position is intended to be primarily in support of the School Library
Media Program.  Applicants will be expected to have expertise in teaching and
research in one or more of the following areas:

·	Certification for school library media specialist;
·	Information literacy and learning theory;
·	Curriculum integration and instructional design;
·	Technology for learning;
·	Materials and resources for children and youth plus knowledge and expertise
in the concepts and processes of ?teaching and learning, information access
and delivery, and program administration? as set forth in Information Power:
Building Partnerships for Learning as well as having a strong background in
information technology.

One position is to teach in and design and direct a program in rare books
librarianship and special collections administration.  This program would be a
concentration in the MSLIS degree, and with the likely development of a post
master's certificate.  It is anticipated that the program would be formally
articulated with the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia.
Applicants will be expected to have experience in the field and scholarly
credentials and exhibit a flair for entrepreneurship.

The Palmer School of Library and Information has just partnered with the
Department of Computer Science to form a new College of Information and
Computer Science , with the dean of the Palmer School also serving as the dean
of the college.

The Palmer School of Library and Information Science has a broadly
interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Information Studies.  It also hosts an
undergraduate degree program (B.S. in Information Transfer) and a masters
program (M.S. in Library and Information Science).  A state approved advanced
certificate in Archives and Records Management is also offered.  The 300 acre
C.W. Post Campus with its tree-lined paths, rolling lawns, and historic
buildings, is 25 miles east of Manhattan.  The M.S. degree is offered at C.W.
Post and in Manhattan.  Selected masters level courses are offered in
Westchester, 30 miles north of Manhattan.

Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience and qualification.  Long
Island University has an outstanding fringe benefit package, including tuition
remission for dependents.
