What Qualifications Do I Need to Get a Job in a Library?

Different library jobs have varying qualifications. To become a librarian, you need a master’s degree in either library science or information studies. This is important if you work with students in an academic setting. You also need some research experience and a strong awareness of research procedures and tools. Library technicians and assistants need to have a high school diploma or a GED certificate and strong administrative skills. If you are seeking a job in library computer support, you need at least a bachelor’s degree in information technologies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Librarian, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Librarian, you typically need a Master’s degree in Library Science (MLS or MLIS), strong research skills, and organizational abilities. Familiarity with library management systems, digital archives, and cataloguing tools like MARC or Dewey Decimal Classification is essential. Excellent communication, customer service, and problem-solving skills help librarians engage diverse patrons and collaborate with colleagues. These competencies ensure effective resource management, support lifelong learning, and enhance community access to information.

What are some common challenges faced by library staff when adapting to digital resources and technology?

Library staff often encounter challenges such as staying current with rapidly evolving digital platforms, assisting patrons with varying levels of tech literacy, and integrating new technologies with existing catalog systems. Balancing traditional library services with digital resource management requires ongoing training and flexibility. However, many libraries provide professional development opportunities and foster a supportive team environment to help staff successfully navigate these changes.

What do library workers do?

Library workers assist patrons in finding and borrowing materials, organize and maintain collections, and help with research and technology use. They may also plan educational programs, manage digital resources, and support community events. The specific duties depend on the role, such as librarian, library assistant, or technician, but all focus on making information accessible to the public.

Job description

Overview

Being good neighbors – helping people, investing in our communities, and making the world a better place – is who we are at State Farm. It is at the core of how we operate and the reason for our success. Come join a #1 team and do some good!


Grow Your Skills, Grow Your Potential
Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer / Lead Software Engineer in Enterprise Technology (ET) Claims, you will join the Enterprise Claim System (ECS) Build team, the team that owns CI/CD pipeline infrastructure, build automation, and release engineering for one of State Farm's largest and most complex applications. ECS spans 40+ product modules across concurrent release streams, compiled and deployed through scheduled full-system builds orchestrated by both a legacy Jenkins cluster and an evolving GitLab CI platform. You will drive the modernization of this ecosystem, migrating Jenkins jobs to GitLab CI pipelines (with GitHub on the long-term horizon), evolving builds from Ant/Maven toward Gradle, and building the shared tooling and automation that keeps hundreds of Claims developers productive.

What you will do

  • Design, implement, and maintain GitLab CI pipelines that compile, package, and validate a large-scale Java application across multiple concurrent release streams using shared AWS runners and custom Docker images.
  • Migrate and retire legacy Jenkins jobs by re-implementing them as modular, reusable GitLab CI pipelines using shared templates and source libraries.
  • Build and maintain developer-facing utilities such as tagging tools, merge validation, code search, build comparison/diff, version reporting, and code metrics, all delivered as pipeline-triggered automation.
  • Develop and evolve internal dashboards that provide release teams and developers real-time visibility into build health, queue times, and deployment status.
  • Manage shared build infrastructure: custom container images, artifact repository integration (JFrog Artifactory), credential management, multi-environment deployment orchestration, and runner configuration.
  • Automate release operations: branch/tag management across multi-stream releases, version management, configuration-only builds, and externalized configuration.
  • Drive long-term modernization: evaluate and implement Gradle as a replacement for Ant and Maven build scripts; prepare for eventual migration from GitLab to GitHub, aligned with enterprise technology direction.

Qualifications

Required

  • Strong engineering fundamentals (design, secure coding, testing, maintainability) with experience delivering and supporting production build/release systems at scale.
  • Hands-on CI/CD pipeline development: writing pipeline definitions, designing multi-stage workflows, working with shared runners, and managing pipeline-as-code patterns (not just triggering builds).
  • Proficiency in shell scripting (Bash) for build automation, comfortable writing scripts that interact with Git, REST APIs, and orchestrate multi-step build processes.
  • Solid Git workflows: branching strategies, tagging conventions, multi-stream release management, and merge validation.
  • Unix/Linux command-line fluency; experience with Docker container images for CI environments.
  • Strong ownership, collaboration, and communication; comfortable working across teams and navigating ambiguity.

Desired

  • Experience with Gradle (Kotlin or Groovy DSL), particularly migrating large Java projects from Ant or Maven.
  • GitLab CI advanced patterns: parent-child pipelines, shared templates/includes, dynamic variable generation, custom runner configuration, container registry management.
  • Apache Ant and/or Maven deep knowledge (for maintaining the current estate while migrating forward).
  • Artifact repository management (JFrog Artifactory or similar): promotion strategies, credential management, retention policies.
  • Python scripting for build automation and reporting.
  • GitHub Actions experience (future-state target).
  • Cloud platforms (AWS): understanding of compute runners, region selection, and cost optimization for CI workloads.
  • Web development skills (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) for building internal dashboards and reporting tools.
  • Observability tools (Splunk, Dynatrace) for pipeline performance monitoring and troubleshooting.
  • Experience with security scanning tools (Snyk or similar) integrated into CI pipelines.
