Full Job Description

Job Description:

The Brown University Library’s E-Resources unit seeks a highly collaborative and creative library professional to serve as the E-Resources Librarian. A key member of the Department, this position is essential to sustaining Brown’s significant investment in electronic scholarly resources, including e-books, e-journals, databases, and streaming media.

This role is responsible for managing the enhancement and maintenance of e-resources metadata to support and maximize discovery within the Brown University Library’s Alma/Primo environment. The E-Resources Librarian will also develop and oversee local workflows to ensure delivery and ongoing upkeep of high-quality metadata for electronic resources. In addition, the position provides expertise in establishing and maintaining stable, consistent online access to e-resources by coordinating and guiding troubleshooting efforts, and by engaging subject librarians, vendors, and staff throughout the process.

Reporting to the Head of E-Resources and Licensing, this position will be hired at the Librarian II rank within the Brown University Library’s Program for Library Professionals, a professional development initiative designed to support career advancement.

The Brown University Library is a dynamic center of scholarship and community at the heart of a world-class research university. Supporting and collaborating with a broad and diverse academic constituency, the library is central to Brown’s mission “to serve the community, the nation, and the world by discovering, communicating, and preserving knowledge and understanding in a spirit of free inquiry.” Fully integrated into Brown’s educational excellence, ambitious and growing research enterprise, and diverse academic community, the library is a hub of innovation that fuels intellectual creativity. We seek outstanding library professionals at all levels who are eager to advance academic excellence at the highest level and who will bring a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and abilities to our scholarly community.

Education and Experience

ALA-accredited master’s degree in library or information science, or an equivalent combination of advanced education and relevant academic library experience.
Minimum of three years of experience in electronic resource management, access troubleshooting, and licensing support in an academic library setting (Librarian II level or equivalent).
Experience with library services platforms and discovery systems (e.g., Ex Libris Alma/Primo), including knowledge base management, portfolios, linking, and access configuration.
Demonstrated experience with batch loading and batch editing MARC records, including large-scale metadata updates and quality control for electronic resources.
Familiarity with authentication and access infrastructure (e.g., EZproxy, Shibboleth/SAML, OpenAthens, and IP-based access) and the ability to diagnose access issues across systems.

Job Competencies

Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and public-facing teams.
Strong analytical, assessment, and problem-solving abilities, with demonstrated skill in prioritizing multiple projects and meeting deadlines.
Familiarity with electronic resource data standards and exchange formats, including KBART, OpenURL, DOIs, and knowledge base collection structures.

Knowledge of digital libraries, metadata standards, and interoperability practices (e.g., Dublin Core), with awareness of linked data concepts and cross-system metadata consistency.
Experience developing and maintaining documentation, standard operating procedures, and training materials to support sustainable workflows and shared understanding across teams.

Best Consideration Date: 5/15/2026
