Summary



The Mary and John Gray Library at Lamar University seeks an innovative,
enthusiastic, self-motivated, technology-savvy, service-oriented individual
to serve as Technical Services Librarian. The Technical Services Librarian
will be responsible for building and managing a process that seamlessly and
efficiently meets the information needs of users. Reporting to the Head of
Technical Services, the successful candidate will be a key player in
providing access to information resources, regardless of location, using
technologies and services, such as Article Galaxy Scholar and RapidILL. This
is a non-tenure track, 12-month faculty appointment. Salary is commensurate

*Who We Are: *



Lamar University is a diverse and accessible global university for
life-long learners with a passion for broad-based community engagement. As
a vital contributor to the socioeconomic wellbeing and resilience of the
Gulf Coast region, our expertise is recognized locally and beyond. Lamar
University is home to more than 17,000 students and is among the fastest
growing Texas colleges and universities. LU is a member of The Texas State
University System, which is the first higher education system of Texas and
maintains the lowest average tuition and fees of any university system in
Texas. With more than 100 degree options and a community that cares, Lamar
students are always proud to be Cardinals.

Lamar University is committed to fostering a culture of diversity where
students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds can learn, work, and serve.



*Living in the Area:  *



With a population of over 115,000 in Beaumont and 409,000 in the
Beaumont-Port Arthur Metropolitan area, the region boasts a lower cost of
living than the national average and most cities in the state. The area’s
destiny changed course dramatically in 1901 when the first oil well blew in
the nearby Spindletop field and turned the area from a quiet lumber and
port town into a thriving oil and gas economy, with one of the largest
concentrations of oil refineries, oil, and petrochemical-related businesses
in the state. This has given way to countless job opportunities in the area
– for science, research, engineering, and higher education. Living in
Beaumont has a cosmopolitan and small-town feel wrapped in one – it can be
fast paced, as people typically live and work closely together, but also
has strong small town community roots and friendly neighbors ready to lend
a hand. There is always a new restaurant to try and good nightlife in the
area. Education options are abundant in Beaumont, with all education
rankings high on national and statewide levels compared to other cities.
The gulf coastline offers sweeping, gorgeous sunsets and beach strolls,
with exciting places like Houston or Lake Charles, LA for getaways only an
hour away.
