[lstac] Job opportunity: Research & Statistics Librarian, Wyoming State Library

[Susan Mark]

Here's an opportunity for someone to join our great team here at the WSL

Research and Statistics Librarian, Wyoming State Library


The Wyoming State Library is seeking an organized and communicative
professional to facilitate library development by providing research,
consulting, statistical, and other support to libraries of all types, and
to manage federal grant projects. And while you are doing these things you
will also be close to outdoor recreational opportunities. It's a short
drive to hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, fishing, and skiing as well as
other fun things.

This position serves as the State Data Coordinator and engages in regular
communications with Wyoming libraries and with colleagues nationally.
Statistical duties include collecting, organizing, analyzing, and
distributing library data and statistics, supporting the effectiveness of
libraries by giving stakeholders data tools for making comparisons,
advocating for their libraries, and making data-driven decisions.

Challenges include working with libraries to ensure consistent data
reporting. This entails clarity of instruction to libraries, verification
of responses, communication, and provision of training. Careful analysis of
the numbers, discerning and evaluating the factors that affect the
statistics, is necessary to create valid, usable data products. Oh, by the
way, the use of a sense of humor with stats work is appreciated.

This position serves as co-coordinator for Wyoming’s federal Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grants and any additional grants from
the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). As a co-coordinator,
this person will advise staff on projects supported by federal funds, and
ensure adherence to IMLS guidelines and to Wyoming’s 5-year-plan for IMLS
funds. Duties include developing, collecting, and maintaining documentation
in order to complete the annual report to IMLS on the grant. This person
will manage LSTA stipends to libraries at the 13 state institutions, serve
as a consultant to them, and perform site visits.

As part of the State Library’s reference team, this person will demonstrate
exceptional customer service in providing reference services to patrons. In
addition, this position will manage the Wyoming Newspapers digital
collection.
