Vacant job

University Library and Student Support (UB) is responsible for providing library services, learning support, and student support. Learning support involves fostering information competence in education and offering an inspiring study environment. Student support includes assistance with academic writing, mathematics, statistics, study skills, information retrieval, and reference management. The department also handles central study guidance, pedagogical support for students with long-term disabilities, and student health services.

University Library and Student Support manages a project using the Supplemental Instruction (SI) method at Mid Sweden University. Supplemental Instruction means that trained SI-leaders hold regular study sessions for students in specific courses. These sessions focus on developing effective study techniques, improving understanding of course content, and boosting confidence before exams. UB staff train the SI-leaders, coordinate the work, and act as mentors to the SI-leaders.
