Do you believe in the public's right to have information about their government? Are you excited by the unprecedented opportunities for access and library promotion potentially offered by the electronic future of government information? At the same time, do you fret over whether today's government information will be available in 2050? Do paper documents mean more to you than a "legacy collection"? Are you tech-savvy or a demonstrated self-learner? Do you enjoy a friendly collaborative workplace in an outdoors-friendly community?
Then you need to apply for the position of Government Publications Librarian at the Alaska State Library!

This position coordinates the Alaska State Publications Program, which obtains state publications from state agencies regardless of format and makes them available through a system of eight depository libraries and in many cases, over the Internet. This position also coordinates a small Canadian documents depository and supervises the Federal Documents Librarian.

The Alaska State Library is looking for someone who not only oversees the collection and preservation of government documents, but someone who can promote government information and other library resources in nontraditional ways and venues. If you've got creative, economical promotional ideas to try, this could be the place for you.

This position isn't all documents all the time. As a librarian at the Alaska State Library, you would also be a research resource for Alaska state agencies and serve the general public in person, by phone, by e-mail and through emerging technologies. You would also have a role in surveying and analyzing users and potential users to help refine our services.
