Fellow law librarians:
Please consider the following position or pass this announcement to
anyone who might be interested. I will be interviewing at the AALL
Meeting in Orlando, but would be pleased to talk to anyone about the
position prior to that. It would be good to schedule interviews before
arriving in Orlando. Interviewing in Orlando is not a requirement, as
we will be bringing final candidates to San Diego for interviews in
August.
Thanks,
Charles Dyer
Assistant/Associate Director for Technical Services, San Diego County
Public Law Library, San Diego, CA.
The San Diego County Public Law Library is seeking an experienced
technical services librarian to direct its Technical Services Division,
located at its Main Library in San Diego, CA. The SDCPLL is a
progressive, service-oriented institution with four locations, an
operating budget of $2,774,000 and a staff of about 39 FTE, serving San
Diego County, whose 2.8 million population and 4,200 square miles are
slightly smaller than the State of Connecticut.
General Statement of Duties: Under the direction of the Director of
Libraries, the Assistant/ Associate Director for Technical Services
(ADTS) plans, develops, promotes and directs the operations of the
Technical Services Division (supervising approximately 8 FTE) for the
entire SDCPLL system. Two departments that work in conjunction report
directly to this person, the Acquisitions Department and the Cataloging
Department. The ADTS coordinates relations with other departments and
branches of the library and gives related work assignments. The ADTS
assists the Director in the administration of the law library; helps to
assure the effective operation of the library in the Director's absence;
assists in implementing library policies and preparing the budget; and
may provide other professional law librarianship service as needed.
Often, the ADTS will be designated by the Director to be the formal
contact at the Library for certain vendors, library and other
professional organizations, and County and State agencies which work
with the Library. The ADTS consults with Senior Managers and branch
librarians regarding collection development, technical services, and
system-wide service issues.
Competencies/Education Required: Masters in Library Science (or
equivalent), training in technical services, ability to work with
computers, supervise people. Several years of professional work in a
library environment, with some years of supervisory experience.
Familiarity with law materials is helpful.
Alternative to Minimum Qualifications: Possible substitution for the
M.L.S. Substantial experience in a professional librarian capacity with
proven professional competencies, as exemplified by the list of core
competencies published by the California Library Association or the
American Association of Law Libraries. (An example: a law firm library
director with many years experience, including substantial supervision.)
Salary and rank guidelines: $56,000 to $90,000, Assistant or Associate
Director, depending on qualifications. Excellent benefits.
