Special Collections Unit: Marquand Library of Art & Archaeology
Position Description
Marquand Library of Art and Archaeology is one of the oldest and most extensive art libraries in America. The collection of over 500,000 volumes covers world art and architecture from antiquity to the present and includes distinguished rare book holdings. Marquand serves the University community and scholars from around the world. Marquand seeks to hire a temporary Library Collections Assistant. The ideal candidate will be an energetic, production- and service-oriented person for this full-time on-site position.
This temporary position will serve as the main access point for In Library Use Only materials and be responsible for ensuring safe handling of these materials in Marquand’s temporary spaces in Firestone Library.

Additionally, this staff member will contribute to collection maintenance by folding custom-made boxes and four-flap enclosures and preparing collections for return to Marquand Library. Being part of a branch library team demands that one be flexible in organizing and scheduling work activities, and the assistant must be able to identify priorities, manage workflows and sustain productivity.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Staff service points, enforcing library policies graciously and provide basic reference to patrons
- Provide access to Marquand Library and shared collections that are In Library Use Only
