JOB PURPOSE

The AI & Technology Initiatives Librarian bridges pedagogical goals and technological solutions, focusing on operational and user-experience innovation. The incumbent leads the library’s AI & Technology program, developing long-term strategy, policies, and services that ensure emerging tools are responsibly and sustainably integrated into teaching and research. This includes managing pilots with risk controls, setting program-level goals, and coordinating with IT, faculty, and other librarians to scale successful initiatives. The librarian also contributes directly to teaching and developing and delivering workshops, guest lectures, and classroom sessions on emerging technologies, digital literacy, and responsible AI use, ensuring students and faculty build the skills to critically evaluate and apply these tools in their scholarship and practice. This position reports to the Associate Director for Access Services.

  • Integrate emerging technology demonstrations into classroom teaching and legal research instruction, in collaboration with Faculty and Reference Librarians.
  • Develop online guides, tutorials and modules to support independent learning on AI and Legal technology.
  • Serve as a resource for faculty incorporating AI and technology into their courses, offering instructional design support and tool recommendations.
  • Mentor and train librarians and staff across the law library in the responsible use of AI technologies, building collective capacity so that AI / tech services are woven into reference, instruction, and collections work.
  • Coordinate closely with the Data Science & AI Librarian to ensure complementary support : implementation and governance of AI / tech platforms (vendor evaluation, risk management, rollout), while the Data Science & AI Librarian emphasizes data curation, computational workflows, and research methods training.
  • Lead AI tool governance : run intake reviews (security, privacy / FERPA, accessibility) with IT / General Counsel / SLS Leadership; document risks / mitigations pre-pilot.
  • Own vendor & rollout management (e.g., Lexis+ AI, Westlaw Precision AI, Bloomberg Law, CoCounsel) : pilot charters, success metrics, DPA / license coordination, SSO / configuration, comms, and training plans.
  • Own the end-to-end rollout of new AI tools : draft a short pilot plan, define success metrics, coordinate privacy / security and licensing with IT / Legal / Procurement, set up SSO / configuration, and provide training, quick-start guides, and a support path.
  • Partner with the E-Resources Librarian on licensing, authentication, access, usage analytics, and end-user support for legal AI databases; ensure license compliance.
  • Run AI red-team tests (prompt injection / jailbreak scenarios) and capture mitigations; verify vendor guardrails match SLS policy.
  • For hosted or local / open-source LLMs, set up with IT : monitoring / usage analytics, secrets management, role-based access, and configuration aligned to policy.
  • Build light automation / integration (APIs, small Python / webhook scripts) and maintain user-facing documentation / service catalog.
  • Provide platform / tool onboarding training (vendor AI, lab-hosted LLMs, chatbots) for faculty, students, and staff.
  • Oversee evaluation of pilot and production services, issuing strategic recommendations on whether to scale, invest, or sunset technologies. Present findings to library leadership and contribute to budget planning for technology investments.
  • Chair the Library AI Advisory Group and serve as the primary liaison to campus-wide AI governance committees, ensuring the law library’s voice is represented in institutional decision-making. Publish notes and maintain a shared roadmap aligned to campus and Stanford Law School policy.
  • Participate in the shared AI & Innovation intake queue; triage and co-staff multi-facet projects.
  • Success Metrics : Number of pilots completed; time-to-launch; percent of passing security / privacy / accessibility reviews; ROI / cost metrics; user satisfaction.

    • MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

  • Education & Experience : Advanced degree in Library Science (ALA‑accredited MLIS / MLS) or a relevant academic discipline by start date, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Five or more years of relevant experience in an academic, law, or research library setting, or in a similar research-focused organization, with evidence of capacity to lead at a high level of responsibility.
  • Knowledge, Skills and Abilities : Required : Demonstrated experience in evaluating and implementing library technologies; strong understanding of the legal technology landscape and emerging AI tools; proven ability in project management and service development; knowledge of data privacy and security best practices relevant to AI; working knowledge of digital accessibility standards for instructional and public-facing tools. Preferred : Experience with legal research platforms and legal-specific AI tools; instructional design, teaching, and pedagogical practices; experience configuring SSO and identity models; working knowledge of LLM evaluation / guardrails and RAG concepts; comfort with JSON / YAML, CLI tooling, and container basics; awareness of AI risk frameworks for pilots.

    • Benefitso / Professional Development
