Engagement Librarian

The University of Manchester Library is one of only five National Research Libraries and the third largest academic library in the UK. Our vast and rich collections (both print and digital) help us to deliver a world class library and information service for The University of Manchester. We sit at the heart of the University experience for both learning and research and are fully committed to widening access to our expertise, collections and services to individual researchers, local schools, and others in the community.

A key role of the Library is supporting students and staff at Manchester and in the wider community to access, analyse and explore its collections, resources and expertise. The Engagement Team works closely with Library colleagues to promote the Library’s collections and services to the University community, using appropriate communications, engagement and advocacy techniques. They collaborate with Library colleagues to ensure the development of effective and efficient customer-centred processes, tools and materials and to ensure continuous quality assurance and assessment.

Engagement Librarians ensure the Library develops and maintains proactive, trusted relationships with Faculties, Schools, students and researchers. They pursue opportunities to develop and redefine Library services and resourcing in collaboration with Library and Faculty colleagues and take ownership of academic feedback and enquiries at Faculty and School level. They also develop and deliver communications plans.
