Portland Community
College Library is hiring a Library Access Services Manager. The
Library Access Services Manager reports to the Library Dean and is
responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of functional areas
within the Library’s Access Services division. The scope of
responsibility includes all libraries and points of service delivery at
the College.
The Access Services Manager represents the Access
Services division on the Library Leadership Team, the Library Advisory
Council, and division/college management teams. This position
contributes to the development, recommendation, and administration of
Library policies, procedures, and processes. The Access Services Manager
partners with internal and external stakeholders to foster
collaborative strategies to shape a robust and sustainable environment
for equitable student success and life-long learning. This position is
critical to ensuring culturally responsive and inclusive operations that
center historically underserved and marginalized communities and
support flexible service delivery modalities that enhance access and
equitable student outcomes.
Other responsibilities include
designing, organizing, maintaining, and managing the processes and
operations of the Access Services division including circulation,
consortial resource sharing (Orbis Cascade Alliance Summit), and
interlibrary loan. The Access Services Manager shares responsibility for
library system configuration (specifically in the areas of fulfillment
and resource sharing: PCC Library uses Ex Libris’s Alma ILS in a
consortial implementation and will be implementing Rapido for
interlibrary loan by summer 2023). This position is responsible for
overseeing and providing input about budget and resource allocation
within Access Services. The Access Services Manager develops and leads
complex projects within the library and in collaboration with other
college departments.
We are looking for a leader who will bring a
diversity of identity, culture, and experience. The Access Services
Manager works cooperatively with library employees (managers, classified
staff, and faculty) to build an environment that inspires and
communicates a sense of belonging and collaboration to a diverse group
of staff and students. We encourage applicants who are fluent in a
language in addition to English, such as Arabic, Chinese, French,
Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, or American Sign
Language.
