resolving resource access problems. This position is expected to develop

acquisitions and management that have the potential for new and
innovative library services.

emerging trends in scholarly communication, open access models, and
knowledge of academic publishing practices desired.
In regard to Instructional Services, the successful candidate will

context of an undergraduate liberal arts college and provide general
reference assistance (10-15 hours each week including one evening) in
person and via email, phone and chat. Periodic participation in the
College’s interdisciplinary; values oriented general education program
