Incumbents will bring library experience and skills, a proven ability to work effectively in a team environment, and interest in learning new skills.
The successful candidate will join Access Services, the team that helps UNM and community library users access information by providing services across multiple library buildings and online in the areas of: circulation, resource sharing (Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery), technology lending, course reserves, information and research help, and collection maintenance. Within the UL’s main campus buildings, we provide comfortable and dynamic spaces to support individual and collaborative learning.

In addition, CSEL is home to UNM’s Math Learning Lab (MαLL), a collaborative learning space supporting mathematics education.
