Interlibrary Loan Coordinator

East Stroudsburg University is hiring an Interlibrary
Loan Coordinator! Located in
the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, ESU’s proximity to New York
City and Philadelphia provides convenient access to internships, careers and
social activities. Just minutes from campus are the country’s largest water
parks, scenic Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area, Appalachian Trail, and other
opportunities for recreational fun.

As the Interlibrary Loan Coordinator, you will need to think
creatively and be comfortable working with a diverse student population. You
will be an active member of the Kemp Library team and will work closely with
the Access Services Supervisor to receive and manage requests to borrow materials from and/or lend
materials to libraries outside of Kemp Library. You will thrive in this
role if you like combining your library-clerical experience and customer
service skills while handling
the checking in and out of materials, receiving fines, answering telephones, and
coverage of the front desk. To be successful in this role, you must be
flexible, able to work independently and adapt to a varied work schedule.
Your typical schedule is Sunday – Thursday 2:30 pm to 11:00
pm, but you may have to flex your schedule from time to time based on the
needs of the business to be a true Coordinator.  In this position,
you must be able to work weekends and overtime hours (e.g., during 24/7 final
exam weeks) and must be available during inclement weather. When our team
shows up for work, they are energized and motivated to succeed – all while
being the most crucial piece to keeping the ESU operations humming.
