"Part Time Librarian to Chairman/CEO"
Here's are some interesting details from a job description for a "Part Time Librarian to Chairman/CEO":
Serve as librarian to the Chairman and CEO of an investment partnership based in Greenwich, CT...
Develop and track a reading program
- Work with the CEO and staff to develop a weekly reading syllabus
- Set specific reading goals and actively track the CEO’s progress
- Continuously update the syllabus to reflect feedback and new content
Recommend and purchase new books
- Work with the CEO and staff to define and continuously update a list of reading topics
- Proactively identify books, articles, and academic research that address these topics
- Review, recommend, and purchase relevant materials
Research applicable topics
- Respond to research requests as received
- Work with staff to initiate relevant research efforts independently
Perform requisite administrative functions
- Send books and other reading materials to the CEO and staff who are traveling
- Execute other library-related administrative functions as needed
I'm especially interested in the elements that indicate that this will be a position in which the librarian becomes an active contributor to the development of knowledge within the organization.
Of special note:
Set specific reading goals and actively track the CEO’s progress
That strikes me as rare.
