[Libs-Or] Job posting: Systems & Discovery Librarian, WCCLS

[Rian Debner]

Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) is seeking a Systems
& Discovery Librarian II to join our new Library Systems & Discovery team.
This position will support our mission by ensuring that library systems and
integrations work seamlessly for the people who use them:

Supporting library staff by implementing stable, efficient workflows and
rolling out product features and enhancements that improve the experience
of library work

Supporting patrons by making it easy to register for library cards,
discover materials, manage accounts, and access library integrated services
online.

​As part of the Library Systems & Discovery team, the Systems & Discovery
Librarian complements existing cataloging, metadata, and acquisitions
expertise on the team. This position will bring a strong focus to patron
workflows such as accounts and registration, circulation & holds, catalog
usability, and staff support at the point of service. This position will
serve as a subject matter expert on WCCLS’s integrated library system
(ILS), Polaris, and discovery layer, BiblioCore, while also supporting
numerous other integrations, including online resources, ebook
applications, streaming video, automated messaging, and data clean-up
services. With an emphasis on patron experience, access, and usability,
this role focuses on how system behavior and stability affects real people
and public service outcomes for the whole community.

While we are actively recruiting for someone with a strong patron services
base, technical services work is one of the most common paths to a systems
librarian position as those in this field are typically spending the most
time working deeply and thoughtfully with the ILS. And Technical services
is public services.

WCCLS is also progressing towards centralizing collection development and
technical services work in the cooperative – important project work this
position will be supporting for the next two years and beyond. Learn more
