The Access Services team is the gateway for UNM and community users to access information.

The team is based in three open library facilities on UNM's Central Campus and the high-density repository on the South Campus.
The position is located in Zimmerman Library, the state's largest library and the heart of the university's flagship campus. This 300,000-square-foot building houses over a million volumes, the Center for Southwest Research, and diverse student spaces designed for both individual study and group activity. Founded in 1889, the University of New Mexico sits on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo of Sandia, and the institution acknowledges its committed relationship to Indigenous peoples and the original stewards of the land.
