- An exciting opportunity to work in an innovative and collaborative workplace.

We are seeking to fill several ongoing **Senior Library Officer** roles at the **APS4** level across various sections within the Collection Branch. Roles vary from collection description and research to acquisitions and rights management.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in an innovative and collaborative workplace where exceptional team players and technical specialists can flourish. As part of the Library’s team, you will help support organisational reform, working collaboratively with your team to shape the Library’s future.

The Collection Branch collects today what will be important tomorrow.

**Collection Management roles** - undertake tasks relating to the processing of collection material including item or collection level description and enhancement for all collection formats. You may also be involved in supporting the pre-publication publisher services and supporting the Library’s oral History Transcription and Summary program.

**Collect and Acquire roles** - action collection acquisition decisions across all streams of collecting - published and archival, in either physical or digital format. Internal and external stakeholder liaison is required as well as capacity to work autonomously.

**Curatorial and Collection Research roles** - make decisions on planning, selecting, assessing and appraising, and commissioning material for acquisition.

**Rights Management roles** - make decisions on rights, including copyright, privacy issues and indigenous cultural rights. You may also be involved in licensing, requests for access and drafting and updating agreements.

Experience in Library and Archive work and an understanding of contemporary acquisition, description and conservation principles would be an advantage.

This recruitment process will be used to fill a number of immediate ongoing vacancies and to establish a merit pool that can be accessed to fill future ongoing and non-ongoing vacancies at this level within a period of 18 months from the date of advertisement.
