The University of Manchester Library is one of only five National Research Libraries and the third largest academic library in the UK. Our vast and rich collections help us to deliver a world-class library and information service for The University of Manchester. While our primary objective is to meet the learning, teaching and research needs of University members, we are also fully committed to widening access to our services to individual researchers, local schools and others in the regional community.
We are looking for someone to join our Collection Development & Management Team as Stock Operations Co-ordinator. Collection Development & Management is a multi-functional team, and you must be able to work across all the functions involved in stock operations, including store services, stock management, logistics, book returns & shelving. Together with other Co-ordinators you will work to ensure the Stock Operations Supervisors and Assistants deliver a reliable range of services which are oriented to our academic users.
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate ability to take initiative and responsibility, as well as working collaboratively with others on the team. You should have experience of library-specific software, as well as general office applications in a networked environment. You must show understanding of the kind of data needed to underpin management information supporting the smooth running of a diverse team in an extremely large and busy academic library. In your application please address each of the criteria in the person specification in turn, and supply examples of how you meet them.
