Library Assistant at the Riksdag Library

The Riksdag Administration is an authority tasked with facilitating the work of the parliament. Approximately 750 politically neutral employees work at the Riksdag Administration with many different types of tasks.

Are you interested in society and looking for a unique job in the service of democracy where you can contribute with your knowledge and skills? Then the Riksdag Library can offer you a job at the heart of democracy.

At the Riksdag Library, 31 employees work as specialist support for monitoring the environment, news coverage, and information supply to the parliamentary process. Together, we make it easy for the public to access the history and documents of the parliament.

We are now looking for a librarian for the cataloging team where you will work with cataloging and collection management.

Your Responsibilities

You will work in a team of three people responsible for ensuring that the library's printed collections are cataloged and digitally searchable. You will catalog newly acquired literature but also work with retroactive cataloging, relocations, weeding, and catalog cleaning.

In connection with the relocation of books, the work may be partially physically demanding.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone who:

• has a degree in library and information science or equivalent education deemed comparable
• has good experience in cataloging in Libris at the library level and knowledge of RDA, DDK, and SAO
• has good communication skills in Swedish and English
• enjoys combining cataloging work with practical tasks.

It is an advantage if you also have experience in:

• working in research libraries/special libraries
• working in the library system Alma
• collection management.

To function well in the role, you need to be meticulous and structured and be able to work both independently and in a team. You are quick to learn and can handle both routine and more complex tasks and can reprioritize if new or more urgent needs arise. We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities, especially your ability to collaborate.

Employee participation is important to us. Working with us means that you are expected to act in accordance with our view of employee participation, achieving results, developing, and collaborating.

The position is classified in a security class. We welcome applicants with diverse experiences and backgrounds.

• Employment type: Permanent position
• Extent: Full-time

The Riksdag Administration applies a probationary period.

We work competency-based throughout the process and are committed to an inclusive, fair, objective, and candidate-friendly process. In this process, we ask you to answer a number of selection questions instead of requesting a personal letter.

We Offer You

At the Riksdag Administration, you will work with stimulating, developing, and socially beneficial tasks close to the core of democracy. Here you will face professional challenges and enjoy good conditions regarding vacation, occupational pension, parental leave, and professional development. In the parliament's premises, there is a gym and training facility with various training sessions every day. We strive for our employees to have a good balance between work and leisure and offer the possibility of remote work to some extent.
