This is the lead level class in the Library Technician series. The class may be distinguished from the Library Technician level by the difficulty and complexity of work performed in the direction of library center operations requiring specialized knowledge and skills in certain library techniques and functions. Positions in this class normally carry out a relatively independent set of library center activities or procedures necessary to maintain a unit of a library function or process.

Incumbents perform hire, train and evaluate student workers, conduct most complex technical work in the library system, and provide technical and functional direction of other library technical staff. Incumbents at this level are required to be fully trained in all procedures related to assigned areas of responsibility.
