Position Summary

The College of University Libraries and Learning Sciences (CULLS) seeks to fill multiple positions for the role of Library Information Specialist 3. The successful candidates will provide excellent customer, circulation and reference services, along with facility oversight to ensure a safe and productive learning environment for the campus community. Incumbents will bring library experience and skills, a proven ability to work effectively in a team environment, and interest in learning new skills.

The successful candidates will join Access Services, the team that helps UNM and community library users access information by providing services across multiple library buildings and online in the areas of: circulation, resource sharing (Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery), technology lending, course reserves, information and research help, and collection maintenance.

Regular work assignments may involve service and process improvement as well as participation in special projects such as assisting with the transfer of material to UNM's South Campus Repository. Contributing to creating an inclusive environment for all library users is an ongoing expectation.

These positions are based across our 3 main campus libraries - Zimmerman Library, Centennial Science & Engineering Library (CSEL) and Fine Arts & Design Library (FADL). The anticipated 8-hour work day schedule for these positions will likely be Monday through Friday between 6:30am - 6:30pm depending on operational needs, with occasional support for evening/weekend hours required.
