OSU faculty librarians are committed to student success and demonstrate this by: delivering high-quality instruction; organizing information to promote discovery and meaning-making; building engaging physical and virtual learning spaces; collaborating with students and faculty to preserve and share the scholarly and creative output of the OSU community; and harnessing technology to create a research environment that supports inquiry, discovery and curiosity. As tenure-track faculty, OSU librarians actively contribute to the published literature and to their communities of practice. They publish in relevant peer-reviewed journals and other scholarly outlets, and also contribute to professional conversations at conferences, meetings and using social media. Faculty librarians serve their community and their profession in the library, on campus, and in professional organizations at the regional, national and international levels.

OSU is located in beautiful Corvallis, one of the safest, greenest, and most environmentally responsible small cities in the U.S., ranked by NerdWallet as one of the country’s most innovative tech hubs. OSU has an institution-wide commitment to diversity. We actively engage in recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce and student body that includes members of historically underrepresented groups and strive to build a welcoming and supportive campus environment.
