**Information Technology Librarian, Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM)**  
The library team at the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM) is
searching for an Information Technology Librarian with a special interest in
using the latest technologies to build a new digital library from the ground
up. We seek someone who is passionate about service and
