What is a materials librarian?

Materials Librarians are specialized professionals who manage collections of physical samples and information about materials—such as textiles, polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites—used in design, architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. They curate, organize, and maintain a library of materials, assist users in finding appropriate material samples, and stay updated on new innovations in material science. Materials Librarians often collaborate with designers, engineers, and students to support research, product development, and education. Their expertise helps bridge the gap between creative ideas and the practical application of materials in projects.

How does a materials librarian typically collaborate with design and engineering teams in an organization?

A Materials Librarian works closely with design, engineering, and procurement teams to ensure that the most appropriate and up-to-date materials are available for projects. They facilitate access to material samples, technical datasheets, and sustainability information, helping teams make informed decisions. Collaboration often involves regular meetings to discuss upcoming needs, curating materials collections based on project requirements, and providing guidance on material sourcing or alternatives. This role is essential for streamlining communication and supporting innovation within product development workflows.

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

To thrive as a Materials Librarian, you need expertise in materials science, information management, and library science, typically supported by a degree in library science or a related field. Familiarity with materials databases, cataloging software, and digital asset management systems is crucial. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help in assisting users and maintaining accurate records. These competencies are vital for ensuring efficient access to materials information and supporting research and development activities.

Librarians work with our branches to maintain a collection of resources to support field personnel. Resources include materials for home schooling, missionary care, and professional resources.

Librarians sometimes keep an archive of branch publications.
