We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and organised individual to join our Acquisitions Team. This is a varied role where the right candidate will make a key contribution to building the national collections by acquiring print and digital publications for the Library.

Working as part of a wider team of Acquisitions Librarians you will carry out a range of tasks across the donation, purchase, and subscription acquisition workflows. These will include working closely with sellers and donors, sourcing and ordering publications, checking and recording new acquisitions and invoices on Library systems and responding to enquiries.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication and problem solving skills, who is focussed on working collaboratively to deliver high quality outcomes for the Library. This is a busy role which requires attention to detail, excellent organisational skills, and the ability to display initiative to accomplish tasks efficiently.

If this sounds like you, then we look forward to reading your application.
