DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Librarian I – This is the entry level class in the Librarian series. This class is distinguished from the journey level by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within this series. Employees at this level are not expected to perform with the same independence of direction and judgment on matters allocated to the journey level. Since this class is typically used as a training class, employees may have only limited or no directly related work experience. Employees work under general supervision while learning job tasks.
Librarian II – This is the journey level class within the Librarian series and is distinguished from the I level by the assignment of the full range of duties. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new, unusual, or unique situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies within the work unit. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the I level.
This class is distinguished from the Library Supervisor in that the latter has first-line supervisory responsibility and performs the most difficult and responsible types of duties assigned to classes within this series including assigned program responsibilities. Examples of Duties
