Minimum Qualification Requirements To qualify, you must meet all of the following requirements:
Legal Authorization To Work Requirement The State of Hawaii requires all persons seeking employment with the government of the State shall be citizens, nationals, or permanent resident aliens of the United States, or eligible under federal law for unrestricted employment in the United States.
Education: A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university.
Professional Librarian Experience: Two and one-half (2-1/2) years of progressively responsible professional experience in one or more major functional areas of librarianship (e.g., selection, acquisition, cataloging and classification of materials, collection development and maintenance, reference and readers' advisory services, or development and promotion of library services), which required the application of principles, practices, knowledge, theories and tools of library science.
At least one year of experience must have been comparable to the Librarian III. The Librarian III reflects responsibility for independently performing the full range of professional library services in a service or functional area. The work requires the use of independent judgment in providing complete library services in the area assigned, within established policies and procedures, under the general supervision of a higher level librarian. In direct service libraries, the work generally involves serving as the librarian responsible for providing the full range of professional services (e.g., collection development and maintenance, library programming) within a particular service or functional area. Positions in this class of work may supervise lower level librarians and/or subprofessional positions performing supportive activities.
Substitutions Allowed: Relevant substitutions as described in the Minimum Qualification Requirements will apply.
