What is a resource sharing librarian?

Resource Sharing Librarians are library professionals who manage the exchange of materials and information between libraries. They coordinate interlibrary loan services, ensuring that patrons can access books, articles, and other resources that their home library does not own. These librarians work closely with library consortia, utilize resource sharing networks, and often handle copyright compliance and shipping logistics. Their role helps expand access to information and supports the research and learning needs of library users.

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

To thrive as a Resource Sharing Librarian, you need a solid understanding of library science principles, interlibrary loan (ILL) procedures, and typically a master's degree in library science (MLS/MLIS). Familiarity with ILL management systems like OCLC WorldShare, ILLiad, and library cataloging tools is essential. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for coordinating requests and fostering collaboration. These competencies ensure efficient resource sharing, timely access to materials, and positive relationships among libraries and patrons.

What are some common challenges faced by resource sharing librarians, and how can they be addressed?

Resource Sharing Librarians often encounter challenges such as managing high volumes of interlibrary loan requests, keeping up with rapidly changing technologies, and ensuring timely delivery of materials. Effective communication with partner libraries and strong organizational skills are key to overcoming these hurdles. Additionally, staying updated on best practices and utilizing library management systems can help streamline workflows and improve service quality.

Job description

Resource Sharing Librarian

One Role, a World of Impact Lyon College is looking for a versatile, energetic librarian to lead our resource sharing program and help shape how our campus community discovers, accesses, and preserves information. This isn't a one-note job - you'll move between reference desk, archives, classroom, and social media feed, all in the same week. At Lyon, you won't be a cog in a giant system. You'll be a visible, valued member of a close-knit library team where your ideas actually shape how we serve our campus. Small college, big impact!

What You'll Do

  • Provide research and reference services across print and digital resources, working directly with faculty, staff, and students in a range of subject areas
  • Manage Interlibrary Loan (ILL) operations, including creating clear, helpful materials that promote ILL services to the campus
  • Bring our online presence to life through social media and polished, user-friendly LibGuides
  • Build surveys, tutorials, forms, and other communications using Google services, LibWizard, and other library tools
  • Steward our ContentDM digital archives and the College's physical archival collections
  • Teach library instruction sessions as needed
  • Supervise and mentor student workers
  • Lead outreach efforts on and off campus through programming, information sharing, and community connections
  • Contribute to library data collection and help shape library policy
  • Take on other duties as assigned by the Library Director - because no two days here look exactly alike

What You Bring

  • MLS/MLIS from an ALA-accredited program (or equivalent experience)
  • Comfort with ILL platforms and eagerness to learn tools like LibGuides, LibWizard, ContentDM, and Google Workspace
  • A natural communicator who's just as comfortable drafting a tutorial as posting on social media
  • Interest in archives and special collections
  • Strong organizational skills and enjoyment of mentoring student staff
  • A collaborative spirit and genuine passion for removing barriers between people and information
