This is a great position for a librarian who is ready for a new
adventure!  I am happy to talk with anyone interested in learning more
about the position.

Information Technology Librarian, Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM)

The library team at the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM)
is searching for an Information Technology Librarian with a special
interest in using the latest technologies to build a new digital
library from the ground up.  We seek someone who is passionate about
service and about delivering a dynamic digital collection, seamlessly
and reliably, to our community.   We offer a supportive, team-oriented
library environment where discussion of innovative ideas and
experimentation with new ways of planning and implementing the library
of the future are a part of our culture.

Located in Dothan, Alabama, ACOM was established in May 2010 as a
non-profit, private institution in direct response to addressing the
critical shortage of primary care physicians in the state.  In August
2013 the inaugural class of 162 students began its studies, with full
enrollment projected for a total of 648 students across all four years
of the curriculum by 2016.  We have a team of 60 basic science and
clinical faculty and staff located at the ACOM campus in Dothan.
ACOM’s third- and fourth-year clinical curriculum will be delivered
throughout the state of Alabama and beyond at community-based
hospitals and clinics utilizing a network of over 650 physicians.  The
academic division of the Houston County Healthcare Authority, ACOM is
under the same organizational umbrella as the major regional medical
center, the Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC).

The primary focus of this current position is to spearhead the
planning and delivery of resources and services at the SAMC hospital
library.   In fulfilling this objective, the successful candidate will
participate at the same level of engagement at both the SAMC and the
ACOM sites as we create a new digital library within a growing
academic medical center.  Please see the following url for the library
website which is evolving during this foundational stage of the
library’s development:  http://www.acomedu.org/library/

Position requirements:
