Join the NC State University Libraries and help us create adventurous, innovative services and library spaces that delight students, faculty, and researchers. The award-winning James B. Hunt Jr. Library on NC State’s Centennial Campus, offers access to advanced technologies that are enabling revolutionary ways to see and use information. Capturing NC State’s spirit of innovation in education and research, the Hunt Library is recognized as one of the world’s most creative and inspirational learning and collaborative spaces and a model for “the library of the future.” The D. H. Hill Jr. Library, serving the main campus, combines the best of tradition and innovation, housing special collections and a beautiful gallery alongside vibrant, experiential spaces for making, digital media creation, data analysis and visualization, and collaboration. Three branch libraries focus on design, natural resources, and veterinary medicine.
The Learning Spaces & Services (LSS) department (12 librarians, 6 support staff), part of the Student Success division, provides dynamic services, spaces, and technologies to enable all forms of learning, discovery, and research. The department leads a range of programs and initiatives that support student learning, access to essential tools and resources, and undergraduate student success. The department provides students’ first introduction to the Libraries through a variety of outreach and orientation events and supports in-person and digital instruction in first-year writing and speaking programs. LSS has overall responsibility for the Studios, a collection of learning spaces at the Hill and Hunt Libraries including the Makerspace, Virtual Reality Studio, i Pearl Innovation Studio, Digital Media Studios, and the NC State Gaming and Esports Lab, along with the Learning Commons and several additional teaching labs. Through its workshops, programs, and activities, students and faculty in all disciplines can explore and apply tools and systems for prototyping and making, 3D modeling, and virtual environments, along with audio and video digital media creation. The department also supports the Ask Us service at the Hill and Hunt Libraries.
