Job Description

Tutt Library has an annual budget of $3.4 million dollars; a total FTE staff of 28 (including ten librarians and the Printer of the Press of Colorado College); holdings of over half a million volumes; over 200 subscription databases; and access to over 61,000 online and print periodicals. As a member of the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries, the library provides students with quick access to millions of titles through the statewide Prospector Union Catalog and to excellent reference and interlibrary loan services that satisfy the intense demands of the Block Plan. Students fully utilize the Special Collections' materials and archives, Government Documents, and enjoy hands-on experiences with The Press, a fine art letterpress.  The library building also houses student resources and services including the Writing Center, the Quantitative Reasoning Center, and the Help Desk for technological support.   

Tutt Library is scheduled for a major renovation beginning in summer 2016.  The new director will play a key role in helping the library meet every day needs during a time of transition and guiding the College toward realizing the vision and opportunities of a renovated Tutt library and new center.
