Librarian Program Services

The government authority in Washington, DC, requires a USA-based vendor to provide offsite librarian program services. The buyer seeks a contractor to build a library and archival workforce that meets diverse community information needs and increases institutional capacity for libraries, archives, and graduate programs nationwide. To accomplish this, the selected vendor must explore alternative pathways into the library services field, including innovative alternatives to traditional credentialing and librarian education. Additionally, the contractor must incorporate cutting-edge tools and fresh topics into continuing education, deliver training and professional development to library and archives professionals, develop faculty and information leaders, and recruit, educate, and retain the next generation of professionals. Eligibility restricts participation strictly to onshore USA organizations. The buyer provides no specific budget details and instead requests proposals to determine the cost. The source text omits key dates and evaluation criteria.
