In our organization, important assets are creativity, vision, critical thinking, and a proven ability to lead and inspire others. A strong commitment to support our goal of fostering and sustaining an inclusive and equitable workplace culture is paramount. We are guided in all our work by the University’s strategic plans including Shape, Forward with Purpose, Braiding Past, Present and Future, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, and A Culture of Care, among others.
The University of Alberta Library (UAL) is a leading research library in Canada, with an incredible team of people dedicated to working with the university and community to achieve goals, solve problems, and create new opportunities.
