Outagamie Waupaca Library System (OWLS),
Appleton, Wisconsin
The Outagamie
Waupaca Library System (OWLS) is looking for a librarian to coordinate
continuing education and training services. We need someone who can
assess the needs of member library staff and develop appropriate
educational programs to meet those needs. Other responsibilities
include coordinating services to users with special needs, contributing
content for the system’s electronic publications, consulting with
member libraries, and engaging in special projects. Travel within
Outagamie and Waupaca Counties and to statewide meetings is required.
Required qualifications include:
- A master’s degree in library science
- Good oral and written communication skills
- Proficiency with computers, MS Office software, and electronic
information resources including the Internet
While experience providing training, proficiency in the Spanish
language, or experience with Web 2.0 tools would be extremely helpful,
a self-motivated librarian with good people, communication, and
organizational skills and an aptitude for technology is likely to be
successful.
OWLS has a long history of offering outstanding services and support to
its member libraries and their patrons, and working at OWLS provides an
opportunity to work with a top-notch staff and a terrific group of
local library employees. OWLS is located in the Appleton Public Library
in downtown Appleton, Wisconsin.
Salary is negotiable from $18 per hour, depending upon qualifications,
for this full-time position. A comprehensive benefit package is
provided, including excellent health insurance coverage, vacation, and
employer-paid retirement.
