Holy Names University, located in the beautiful Oakland Hills, has an exciting opportunity for a technology-friendly library worker seeking a powerful career-building experience. Get in on the ground floor as a small team of multitasking innovators prepares to move this library into the 21st century. Our limited space and resources are overshadowed by our creativity, our determination, and our willingness to collaborate internally and externally
These include hiring, scheduling, training, and managing the ever-changing team of student workers used as the front line for Access Services; leading the implementation of WorldCat Navigator resource-sharing; and working with other team members as we implement RFID self-check and inventory, expand public access computing, build the library’s web presence, reposition our collection from print to digital, broaden the range and improve access to our electronic resources, and pave the way for the library’s eventual re-visioning into a full “learning commons” experience.
This is a “pathway MLS” position ideal for students pursuing graduate degrees in library science or library workers preparing for library studies. The ideal candidate is technologically fluent, has ideas and energy, has at least two years’ experience working with traditional library management functions such as circulation, interlibrary loan, reserves, and reports, is familiar with Library of Congress subject headings and MARC, and has a strong customer service ethic.
