Electronic Resources and Technical Services Librarian

With a strong service orientation, the Electronic Resources and Technical Services Librarian will manage library electronic resources, serials, and periodicals, participate in reference and instruction services, and serve as Library Catalog Manager. As a small University, cataloging duties will be minimal, and we usually have less than twenty honors theses submitted to OhioLINK's ETD system each academic year. Please be aware that ODU is currently migrating our ILS to Alma with the guidance and support of OPAL and OhioLINK, so the duties outlined below will likely change with that migration.
