CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Librarian I: This is the entry-level class in the Librarian series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents perform the more routine duties while learning County policies and procedures and becoming familiar with library systems and practices. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. Positions at the I-level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.

Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Librarian II: This is the journey-level classification in the Librarian series. Positions at this level are responsible for independently performing professional duties in support of the library operations. Positions at this level exercise judgment and initiative in their assigned tasks, receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

Positions in the Librarian class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level, after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.?
