Employment
University of Dayton Libraries consists of Roesch Library, Marian Library, and University Archives and Special Collections. Our faculty and staff are recognized for seamlessly connecting information and services to all learners, contributing to the educational mission and preserving the history of the University of Dayton. Together, we form an academic focal point, enriching the intellectual and cultural life at and beyond the University.
We value our inclusive climate because we know that diversity in experiences and perspectives is vital to advancing innovation, critical thinking, solving complex problems and creating an inclusive academic community. Because we seek a workforce with a wide range of perspectives and experiences, we encourage diverse candidates to apply as positions become available, including people of color, women, veterans and individuals with disabilities.
There are currently no job postings at the Libraries.
Student Employment
As one of the largest employers on campus, we employ up to 60 students each year. Student jobs include processing and digitizing special collections; cataloging, shelving and circulation; data entry; technology support; facilities support; and office work.
Our student employees develop customer service, time management, leadership, information literacy and collaborative skills. Paid professional development opportunities, facilitated by library faculty and staff, are offered throughout the year.
Student staff also participate in the Flyers GROW® program, which prompts them to connect their learning to work through reflection in conversation with their supervisors. They are able to articulate what they’ve learned through their library work in relation to their personal development, chosen fields of study, vocations or future job interests.
Open student positions are only posted on Handshake.
We are a founding and participating library of the OhioLINK Luminaries Internship Program, which exposes students to a wide range of work experiences based on the students' interests; pairs students with a mentor to gain valuable knowledge of the libraries and information sciences field; helps students develop marketable skills that are extendable to a variety of career disciplines; and supports our library work environments becoming more inclusive. The application process typically begins in early February.
