Library Consultant
Family of Faith College, Shawnee
Family of Faith College is currently searching for a library consultant to give oversight and direction to its expanding library and research services.
The library collection includes around 32,000 volumes housed in our main campus six miles north of Shawnee on Highway 18. The library uses the Destiny web-hosted library management system. In the coming year we will be focused on expanding the availability of library services and resources to the distance education students of the college. The Consultant will also assist with implementing our Collection Assessment plan and finalizing the Information Literacy plan.
The position does require someone with an MLIS degree, or its equivalent, in order to support accreditation requirements. Time requirements include a monthly or bi-monthly meeting with the FFC library staff member. During this time, the consultant will check on progress toward established goals and offer direction for the coming months. A written report would be submitted following each visit.
Because visits could be held outside of normal working hours, if required, we do not believe that this position would interfere with a person's full-time position at another institution. Instead, it is a great opportunity to earn additional income while furthering one's experience and vision. It could also be an ideal position for a retired librarian. The monthly stipend will include any necessary travel expenses.
If you would like more information about this position, please contact Elaine Phillips, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, at 405–273–5331, ext. 309. Or, e-mail ephillips@familyoffaithcollege.edu.
