Librarians are typically assigned to the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records (NSLAPR) Division and perform a broad range of professional level duties in support of a library that organizes and provides access to a wide selection of materials in a variety of formats. Incumbents perform administrative work in planning, coordinating and directing activities within one or more functional areas of the library including, but not limited to, acquisitions; cataloging; reference; circulation; collection maintenance; serials; document delivery/interlibrary loan; government documents; library services for the blind and physically disabled; and/or statewide library development.
Incumbents function as first-line supervisors who train, supervise and evaluate the performance of assigned staff; assign and review work; and initiate disciplinary action.
The Librarian 4 works within the Department of Administration's Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records (NSLAPR), located in Carson City, NV.

We seek an enterprising librarian who is eager to broaden the definition of acquisitions beyond the traditional. Reporting to the Assistant Administrator of Library Services and working in lock step with the Library Services Senior Program Officer, you will join the leadership team to build commitment to innovation and experimentation in the field of library and archives acquisitions, appraisal, maintenance and de-selection. Together we will advance a broad approach to this work, as we redefine acquisitions in the state library. You will be responsible for running and participating in the day to day operations of acquiring monographs and serials in all formats, including materials acquired via firm order, approval, standing order, and subscription. You will develop and champion collaborative working relationships with staff throughout the library, archives and public records. You will also manage activities involving vendors and publishers, including selection, assessment, monitoring service and fees, evaluation of performance, and communication. Your work will involve contributing to overall reporting and analysis of the collections budget. The ideal candidate needs to have the ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with superiors, subordinates, associates, officials of other agencies and the general public. Candidate must have excellent oral and written communication. And finally, this position serves as the State Data Center manager, and as such maintains this program.
