There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
Reporting to the Director of Logistics and Access Services, the primary function of this position is to contribute to the management and processing of interlibrary loan (ILL) requests to borrow materials from other institutions and the lending of Vanderbilt library materials (loans and digital scans) to the libraries that request them. The Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries at Vanderbilt University is comprised of nine libraries, as well as service departments in collections services, scholarly communications, IT infrastructure, and digital scholarship. We seek to create a welcoming environment and serve as a partner in research and scholarship. The libraries are dynamic places for faculty, staff, students, and alumni to reflect and discover. We also strive to be a workplace in which staff at every level continuously grow in knowledge and skills, staying abreast of advances and trends in librarianship to power relevant, vibrant research libraries. The Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries are fundamental to the university's goal of advancing scholarship and learning. We collect, preserve, and make accessible a wide variety of resources, we partner with faculty and students to shape research, and we encourage the development of informed scholars and engaged citizens. Vanderbilt Libraries holds over 4 million volumes and enables access to millions of e-resources, including over 900,000 serial titles. An active program of digital resource delivery and development is grounded in successful collaboration among library and university staff from Digital Scholarship Services, other library departments and university information technology staff. The Interlibrary Loan Service uses ILLiad, OCLC, RAPID ILL and other tools to offer interlibrary borrowing service to the Vanderbilt University community, to deliver library materials to Vanderbilt faculty, and to provide interlibrary lending service to other institutions. The service borrows and lends locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, and actively participates in various resource sharing groups and consortia (for example, ASERL, SEC, KUDZU, ATLA). The service also cooperates with other VU library units to purchase materials for the permanent collections.
