California Digital Library job opening: Shared Print Operations and Collections Analyst

Dear colleagues,

The California Digital Library seeks a Shared Print Operations and Collections analyst to coordinate existing and emerging shared print initiatives among the University of California Libraries and other extramural partners, including the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST).

Shared print is a collaborative effort of the ten campuses of the University of California and other academic libraries to enable the libraries to meet the information needs of faculty and students in the 21st century through efficient acquisition, sharing and restructuring of physical collections. The Shared Print program assumes a leadership role in planning sustainable cooperative collection development and management initiatives for print collections. The program guides and provides focus for the libraries in formulating strategies, policies and operational approaches to managing physical research collections in a digital age.

Reporting to and working closely with the Shared Print Manager, the successful candidate will have a passion for facilitating cooperative collection management initiatives among libraries. The successful candidate analyzes collections, and works with data, collections officers, and many librarians to propose and facilitate retention and other collection management decisions. S/he is an excellent communicator, capable of guiding groups in complex technical and cross-institutional issues to arrive at common practices. S/he serves as a main operational contact for shared print projects among many libraries and storage facilities.

The position is a three (3) year contract position.

Relocation to Oakland, CA is preferred. Depending on experience, this position may work remotely from somewhere in the western region of the United States and travel periodically to the California Digital Library.

First review date of applications will be Friday, February 10, 2017. Open until filled.
