Part-Time Lecturer Positions in Information Studies
University of California Los Angeles


Requisition Number: JPF09680


SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION/UNIT
The UCLA Ed&IS Department of Information Studies is a powerhouse in an increasingly vital field. As a leading architect of the agenda for how information is disseminated and deployed in the 21st century, we believe that open and frictionless access enables incredible outcomes and creates a better and more equitable world. The Department is home to UCLA's iSchool. The international iSchool community is dedicated to advancing the information fields. iSchools promote an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the opportunities and challenges of information management, with a core commitment to concepts like universal access and user-centered organization of information.

SUMMARY OF POSITION
The Department of Information Studies at UCLA seeks to hire temporary, part-time lecturers to teach within the MLIS graduate program. Course(s) may include the following, and the lecturers may also be assigned additional courses according to the instructional needs in the department and in conformity with departmental lecturer workload policies:

  • IS C115 Introduction to Information Literacies: Lecture, four hours. Foundational introduction to current and historical role and impact of information literacy--ability to identify, locate, critically evaluate, use, and create information effectively and ethically, for personal and scholarly uses. Topics include theory and practice related to impact of economic, legal, and social/environmental issues on development of, access to, use, and assessment of information, currently and historically; developing and refining information researching questions; conducting effective information researching; distinguishing among and critically evaluating information researching tools such as Google and databases, as well as types of items, such as ads, opinions, and factual studies; documenting sources used in information researching; effectively helping others learn information researching and critical thinking in support of equity and inclusivity; and designing, creating, and assessing online educational learning objects as positive contributions to addressing social/environmental issues. Concurrently scheduled with course C215. P/NP or letter grading.

  • IS 262A Data Management and Practice: Lecture, three and one half hours. Designed for MLIS and PhD students. Survey of landscape of data practices and services, including data-intensive research methods; social studies of data practices; comparisons between disciplines; management of data by research teams, data centers, libraries, and archives; practices of data sharing and reuse; and introduction to national and international policy for stewardship of data. Assessment of data archiving needs of one research community and group project to develop real data management plan in partnership with UCLA researchers in other academic departments. Letter grading.

  • IS 280 Social Science Research Methods: Lecture, four hours. Understanding of nature, uses, and practice of research appropriate to information studies. Identification of research problems and design and evaluation of research. Social science quantitative and qualitative methods. Emphasis on inquiry methodology and empirical research. S/U or letter grading.

  • IS 289 Readers' Advisory: Lecture, three and one half hours. Students learn about readers: how they read, why they read, what kind of readers they are. Recognizing the power and potential of the readers' advisory (RA) interview, students acquire and internalize specific reading appeals. Students gain familiarity with recommending from all genres, with additional insights from guest speakers, authors, booksellers, or librarians. Students learn to extend RA services beyond personal interaction to online and social media venues. Readers' advisory is often referred to as a 'value-added' service; but a 2017 Pew Research survey indicated that approximately 69 percent of library users are there to check out books, and fiction accounts for 65 percent of print circulation and 79 percent of e-book circulation. Given those statistics, readers' advisory becomes a core value in the librarian skill set. Letter grading.

  • IS 434 Archival Use and Users: Lecture, three and one half hours. Requisite: course 431. Examination of who uses archives and why, with ultimate goal of creating ways to better understand and meet needs of these users as well as engage new audiences in archival use. While archivists have traditionally conceived of their users as academic researchers, more thorough investigation expands this conception of users to include genealogists, artists, K-12 students and educators, families of victims of human rights abuse, community members, and members of general public. Methods for studying users, ways to conduct outreach to target user groups, and ways in which archivists can engage general public. Letter grading.

  • IS 438A Archival Appraisal: Seminar, four hours. Requisite: course 431. Evaluation and examination of contributions of key figures in development of archival appraisal theory; identification and evaluation of distinct movements in archival appraisal; identification of cultural, political, sociological, and technological movements that can have impact on appraisal methodologies. Letter grading.
