Digital Collection Librarian jobs in Rock Island, IL

The Opportunity

Do you have a passion for music that you dream about incorporating into your everyday job?

The Coda Collection aspires to deliver deeper experiences for music fans and more opportunities for artists. We bring to life the stories behind the songs. How? The Coda Collection, an Amazon Prime Video Channel, is the dedicated streaming film service music fans have been missing. And our website and app provide deeper context, expert curation, and immersive activities that transform the music experience itself. 

Our exploding library of award-winning music films already includes 190 top concerts, documentaries and series from iconic artists including Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Aretha Franklin, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Wu-Tang Clan, The Grateful Dead, Tina Turner, Pearl Jam,  and more. Each film is complemented with custom editorial and experiences from the most talented music writers and commentators in the business.  

In just our first year, we're off to a rapid start: hit film exclusives, such as What Drives Us (directed by Dave Grohl); global live streams, including the two “40 Years of Metallica” concerts; and top notch press coverage from Rolling Stone, Variety, Billboard and beyond.
