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.
