Assistant Librarian

The National Art Library (NAL) at the V&A is Britain’s foremost research and reference library on art and design, open to all. It also holds the V&A’s curatorial collections of the art and design of the book. Following a recent reorganisation, the library is directed within the V&A Research Institute (VARI), together with the museum’s archives, which include the Archive of Art and Design, Theatre and Performance archives and the archive collections of Young V&A, as well as the museum’s institutional records and archives.

We are seeking two motivated Assistant Librarians to participate in all aspects of the NAL’s public service. One post will be full time (36 hours per week), based in the Systems and Services team and have a particular emphasis on the delivery of onsite and online services with specific responsibilities in one of more of the following areas: data collection and analysis, systems management, enquiry handling, group visits, resource sharing. The other will be part-time (20 hours per week), based in the Collections and Content team and have acquisitions and cataloguing responsibilities.

**Interviews will be held on Thursday 28 April
