About the role

Library of Congress seeks a Reference Librarian in the Africa and Middle East Division to evaluate and select materials for the library’s collection. You will review sources for potential acquisitions to grow collections across designated subjects and regions. You will support print and digital collections, ensuring alignment with researchers’ needs and collection policies while promoting a diverse, inclusive record for future generations.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
