Job description
Are you an experienced Business or Corporate Librarian with a passion for service? Are you interested in medicine and want to help build the global future of healthcare? The Mayo Clinic Libraries are recruiting a full-time Business Healthcare Librarian (Librarian IV) to support the business, management, and governmental information needs of more than 80,000 staff across the Practice, Research, and Education shields of Mayo Clinic. Applicants must provide expert-level virtual reference services and possess broad knowledge of national and international business and governmental information resources. The Business Healthcare Librarian will serve as part of the Reference team, collaborating with other librarians across the entire Mayo Clinic organization. Experience and comfort proactively communicating with, and responding to, service requests from business leaders and senior executives is essential.
This position will address Mayo Clinic's day-to-day business information needs by answering reference questions, gathering data, and delivering concise summaries to library patrons. The incumbent will also develop relationships with Mayo Clinic's business leadership to provide timely, targeted information to support their decisions. This position requires innovative and flexible thinking and the ability to effectively serve both high-level executives and novice learners. Additional duties include collaborating with other library team members for business-focused collection development and supporting high-quality general library services. Opportunities for growth and continuing education are provided, and ongoing development of medical and business reference skills is an expected part of this role.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, resume or CV, and list of three or more professional references.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Although the new librarian may begin employment soon after acceptance of the employment offer, the start date is negotiable. Review of applications will begin immediately.
This position is a combination of remote and on-site work; individual must live within driving distance to any Mayo Clinic campus.
**Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. Also, Mayo Clinic DOES NOT participate in the F-1 STEM OPT extension program.
Under minimal supervision, the Librarian IV performs professional level responsibilities encompassing library science, archival work, information management, or information technology. This position may perform work related to public services, technical services, systems, archives, or administration.
Public services responsibilities may include the provision of reference, research and educational services to faculty, staff, students, patients, and others. Technical services responsibilities may include acquisitions, collection development, cataloging, database/electronic resource access and/or serials management in support of the Mayo Clinic Library system. Archives responsibilities may include development, processing, description, digitization, and preservation of archival materials. Staff may also develop catalogs, manage accession/deaccession, and contribute expertise to the institution's strategic plan.
The Librarian IV may independently manage a work unit, a service area with one or more service points or a branch library and may supervise professional and non-professional library staff. As a managing Librarian IV, the position may involve personnel management, budgetary and financial management, library outreach, project management, external consultations, and partnership development. In comparison to the managing Librarian IV, the position may be held by a professional librarian or archivist who is widely recognized at Mayo Clinic for a specialized professional expertise which provides a valued service to others.
Regularly participates in and leads library committees or task forces. Often provides input, develops and applies library plans and policy, and makes decisions to support the Mayo Clinic Library system. May perform other tasks that support services, maintain workload, or provide coverage in the work unit or elsewhere in the Mayo Clinic Library system.
Qualifications
Master's degree from an ALA-accredited institution or equivalent archival degree. Library/archives experience, particularly work experience in a health sciences or scientific research library, institutional archive or museum, technology center, or similar environment. Requires a total of 10 years of relevant, postgraduate professional experience. For institutionally designated management or supervisory positions, at least 1 year of management or supervisory experience required. Basic level knowledge in the following areas: information services, information management, instruction and instructional design, leadership and management, archival management, evidence-based practice and research, and health information professionalism. Expert level knowledge in two or more of the following areas: information services, information management, instruction and instructional design, leadership and management, archival management, evidence-based practice and research, and health information professionalism.
Sustained record of professional association participation. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Demonstrated initiative, good judgment, flexibility, and common sense. Commitment to excellent customer service and quality improvement. Ability to work well in a team-based and self-directed work environment. Willingness to independently accomplish special projects. Commitment to and participation in relevant continuing education.
The ideal candidate will have experience providing business references (AACSB accredited institutions and larger corporations preferred) and/or demonstrated knowledge of legal, business, and governmental information resources.
Preferred Experience and/or Qualifications:
AHIP membership, a similar professional credential or certification, or an additional advanced degree in a subject area pertinent to the position. Mayo Clinic academic appointment. Mayo Clinic Academy of Educational Excellence member. Participation on a Mayo Clinic Education, Research, or Practice Division committee or task force. History of relevant scholarly publications or presentations. Participation on a community service board or committee.
