Resource Sharing Librarian

One Role, a World of Impact Lyon College is looking for a versatile, energetic librarian to lead our resource sharing program and help shape how our campus community discovers, accesses, and preserves information. This isn't a one-note job - you'll move between reference desk, archives, classroom, and social media feed, all in the same week. At Lyon, you won't be a cog in a giant system. You'll be a visible, valued member of a close-knit library team where your ideas actually shape how we serve our campus. Small college, big impact!

What You'll Do

• Provide research and reference services across print and digital resources, working directly with faculty, staff, and students in a range of subject areas


• Manage Interlibrary Loan (ILL) operations, including creating clear, helpful materials that promote ILL services to the campus


• Bring our online presence to life through social media and polished, user-friendly LibGuides


• Build surveys, tutorials, forms, and other communications using Google services, LibWizard, and other library tools


• Steward our ContentDM digital archives and the College's physical archival collections


• Teach library instruction sessions as needed


• Supervise and mentor student workers


• Lead outreach efforts on and off campus through programming, information sharing, and community connections


• Contribute to library data collection and help shape library policy


• Take on other duties as assigned by the Library Director - because no two days here look exactly alike

What You Bring

• MLS/MLIS from an ALA-accredited program (or equivalent experience)


• Comfort with ILL platforms and eagerness to learn tools like LibGuides, LibWizard, ContentDM, and Google Workspace


• A natural communicator who's just as comfortable drafting a tutorial as posting on social media


• Interest in archives and special collections


• Strong organizational skills and enjoyment of mentoring student staff


• A collaborative spirit and genuine passion for removing barriers between people and information
