We’re hiring for two new positions that will be instrumental in PASCAL's Shared Library Services Platform Initiative:

  • Shared Library Services Platform Coordinator (Full-time, permanent)
  • Project Manager I (Full-time, 18-24 month position)

 

JOB TITLE: Shared Library Services Platform Coordinator

We’re looking for a team-oriented person with a strong background implementing and managing complex systems in libraries, excellent communication, coordination and technical skills, and an adventurous spirit.

PASCAL libraries are engaged in the procurement and implementation of a shared Library Services Platform (LSP) for all member libraries.  Overarching goals of the initiative are to enhance and expand collaborative efforts among PASCAL libraries while streamlining operations and eliminating redundancies associated with legacy systems that were designed primarily for management of print collections.

The Shared LSP Coordinator reports to the PASCAL Executive Director and is responsible to the PASCAL Board of Directors.  Incumbent will be responsible for coordinating collaborative leadership, oversight, and management of the new Shared Library Services Platform (SLSP) for PASCAL member libraries. Coordinates PASCAL member libraries, vendors, PASCAL staff, and SLSP governance groups.  Serves as primary representative on behalf of members with SLSP vendor and any other shared services provider.  Supervises SLSP systems and technology support staff at PASCAL.  Works with representatives of member libraries to develop and maintain consortial policies, procedures, and best practices.  Performs other duties as required.

*PLEASE NOTE: One frequently asked question about our positions involves the state's "job-type" description for PASCAL jobs as “Temporary Grant" positions. This is required for positions that are not funded using state-appropriated funds. PASCAL positions are funded by the membership and the consortium considers this a permanent staff position.

 

JOB TITLE: Project Manager I

We’re looking for a team-oriented person with experience leading complex projects with multiple stakeholders and team members; familiarity with academic library operations and practices; outstanding written, verbal, and presentation skills; and excellent organizational and analytical skills.

PASCAL libraries are engaged in the procurement and implementation of a shared Library Services Platform (LSP) for all member libraries.  Overarching goals of the initiative are to enhance and expand collaborative efforts among PASCAL libraries while streamlining operations and eliminating redundancies associated with legacy systems that were designed primarily for management of print collections.
