The PIFSC Library is home to unique research data and reports dating back to the 1940\u2019s. Much of this material is highly relevant to current research and should be made readily available to the public.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scholarly communication. The Library is an integral part of the scholarly publishing process for scientists in the PIFSC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solo librarianship.

It is located in the Inouye Regional Center, an award-winning $350 million sustainable facility on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection consists of fisheries-related literature spanning the subjects of marine biology, physiology, ecology, bio-statistics, oceanography, and others as applied to the Pacific region. The collection consists of books, serials (print and electronic), maps, and manuscripts. The library is also home to the archives of the Honolulu Laboratory, as PIFSC was formerly known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other website links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisheries.noaa.gov\/about\/pacific-islands-fisheries-science-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">About the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/repository.library.noaa.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Repository<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Required Qualifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technology plays a large role in librarianship and being comfortable with technology (and with learning new technologies) is necessary for all tracks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The library is located in a secured facility.
