WORK Summary This is professional and administrative librarian work directing the reference services of the State Library. Work involves planning, organizing and directing a major program of research related to the legislative process, the social sciences, economics and other fields. Work includes advising users of the reference sources of the State Library and directing the professional library procedures involved in maintaining the legislative reference collection, in providing supportive library reference services to state agencies, and in processing and providing reference services on legislative bills.
Supervision is exercised over professional librarians.
Generally, they can develop and utilize any procedures and methods which do not conflict with major policies. Supervision is generally exercised over them through staff conference-type discussions and a review of progress reports. Usually positions that require planning, developing, and coordinating programs and directing fairly large groups of people fall into this category. Considerable analytical thought is necessary for interpreting a variety of factors, problems and alternatives for methods and procedures. Work requires the origination of ideas, techniques and programs for solving technical problems or complicated situations.
