Job Summary

The Dean of University Libraries serves as the chief fiscal ($4 million budget) and administrative officer for both libraries.

The next Dean will find an engaged faculty, who are passionate about helping students become life-long learners and full participants in university life and supporting their faculty colleagues in ensuring relevant and innovative teaching tools and research resources.   There are 11 tenure- track faculty, 23 staff, and 35 student assistants whose commitment to excellence is evident and valued.  

Primary responsibilities for the Dean include the following:

Manage all college resources (fiscal, personnel, facilities, technological, and information resources) necessary to provide high-quality library services.

Lead library faculty and staff members in a team-oriented environment, providing thoughtful mentoring, professional development, and advocacy.

Administer all library services and their archives, assuring sound operations.

Serve as a member of the Dean’s Council, the Provost’s Leadership Team, and the CSU Council of Library Deans (COLD).

LEADERSHIP AGENDA

The Dean’s leadership agenda focuses on developing innovative approaches in delivering library services, increasing resources, and engaging campus and community stakeholders.   All of these leadership opportunities intertwine with each other and must be informed by careful analysis of data, pursued in a transparent manner, and inclusive of faculty, staff, and student voices.

Developing Innovative Approaches

The Library’s most recent strategic plan has largely been accomplished, and the new Dean of Libraries will begin working with the Library team and other stakeholders to articulate a new plan. Central to this plan are the following areas:  sustaining vibrant research and learning in a research-practioner environment, ensuring that the space and services respond to contemporary student, faculty and community needs in an evolving environment, addressing facility master-planning for expansion on the main campus and at PDC, and forecasting budgetary support for the delivery of quality and sustainable library services.  In all these activities, the Dean will apply a student-centered perspective.

Increasing Resources

Related to the aforementioned strategic planning efforts, the new Dean will be a key partner in identifying and delivering resources. This may include leveraging resources through careful budget management.  Creating a compelling narrative for support, the Dean will cultivate external relationships and work with colleagues to engage in fundraising opportunities through grants, gifts, partnerships, and contracts. The University is launching a major capital campaign in Fall 2022, and the Library is one of several identified fundraising goals.  The Dean will engage in these activities with the assistance of campus partners and bring an openness to learning about fundraising and effective advocacy on the importance of the libraries to the faculty, student, and community experience.

Engaging Campus and Community Stakeholders

Engaging with campus and community stakeholders is critical in elevating the Library’s involvement in all areas of the academy, which enriches the university experience.  The Dean will promote collaborative projects with academic departments and other campus and community stakeholders to encourage active learning, critical information literacy, and civic engagement.  This includes, for example, supporting innovative and engaging programs, guest speakers, workshops, lecture series, and exhibits.

Key Qualifications

Overview of Position

The Library of the University of California, Davis, seeks a forward-looking and entrepreneurial professional to join our team as the inaugural Head of Archival Processing and advance the library’s efforts to transform and improve discovery of library resources, collection management, and the organization and curation of data.

Reporting to the Head of the Content Support Services, this position will take a strategic role in prioritizing and leading the processing of incoming archival and manuscript collections in all formats, creating and enhancing online descriptive guides, managing web archiving services, and implementing linked data. The UC Davis Library has been participating in various linked data initiatives and is committed to being an early adopter of modern web technologies (such as linked data) in managing and discovery of the library’s rich resources, including archival content.

As the manager of the archival processing unit, this position will provide intellectual and professional leadership around best practices for processing traditional archival collections as well as emerging and potential areas of curation, including those created by campus researchers. This role will also manage the archival processing backlog, keeping accurate records of unprocessed material and identifying collections requiring additional expertise (e.g., language, subject knowledge). As an individual contributor, this position will also participate directly in creating and editing both finding aids and MARC records and in problem resolution, as well as mentoring colleagues in other library units and across the campus.

The archival processing unit is responsible for describing all archives and manuscripts collected by the library as well as managing web archiving activities. We anticipate this to be a growing unit as the library fundraises to support archival processing especially in the areas of university archives, food, and wine. A large portion of the responsibilities of this position will be to train and mentor early-career employees in the best practices of archival processing and metadata creation.

As a member of the Content Support Services Department, the incumbent collaborates with others in the Scholarly Resources division to plan and coordinate policies, procedures, workflows, and projects. This role collaborates closely with colleagues in Archives and Special Collections, in Collection Strategies, and at the California Digital Library (which manages the Online Archive of California), and may collaborate with subject matter and language experts both in the library and across campus.

Stronger candidates will have a solid grounding in the best practices of processing archives in print/tangible, born-digital, and web-based formats; a strong appetite and aptitude for training and mentoring nascent archivists; an entrepreneurial approach to emerging and bespoke formats of institutional content; proclivity for adopting new technologies and methods that will improve access to and use of distinctive collections; and a collaborative and collegial outlook and spirit.

This position is in the Librarian Series and, as such, is an academic appointee. Librarians at the University of California are represented by an exclusive bargaining agent, the University Council – American Federation of Teachers (UC-AFT). In addition to professional competence and quality of service within the library in the primary job, advancement in the librarian series requires professional involvement and contributions outside of the library, and/or university and community service, and/or scholarly activities.

Position Responsibilities

Under the general supervision of the Head of Content Support Services Department, the incumbent will be responsible for:

• Managing the Archival Processing Unit
  • Hire, evaluate, train, supervise, and mentor regular and student employees as well as project archivist(s) and/or intern(s)

• Processing archival collections
  • Arrange, describe, and preserve archival collections in all formats, especially the most complicated and heterogeneous collections

  • Contribute to department-level planning and the formulation of new policies and procedures
• Advance the goals of the library’s forthcoming strategic plan, including a renewed focus on inclusion and equity.
• Represent the library through participation in campus, local, regional, and national cooperative, outreach, and professional activities.
• Keep abreast of developments in archives and resource description standards and trends, applying new rules, interpretations, and techniques as appropriate.
• Participate in professional development activities as appropriate to meet both personal needs and departmental goals and objectives.
• Other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
• As an academic appointee, engage actively in pertinent ongoing research, scholarship, or creative activity and/or teaching.

Required Qualifications for the Position

• Masters in Library or Information Science from an ALA-accredited institution OR a graduate degree appropriate to working in processing and describing archival contents OR at least three years of professional experience in an appropriate industry or field

Our Vision for Social Justice     

We are seeking people who recognize the critical role community colleges play in social justice, who have ability in this space, enthusiasm for this work, ideas and vision to improve our approaches, and a commitment to achieving equitable academic success for the 50,000+ students attending our five beautiful colleges and centers. Our social justice work calls for employees who have a sense of social responsibility, interest in our community and world in which we live.

The intention of social justice work is to strengthen humanity by understanding that every person deserves the benefits of fully participating in our society and institutions.

Academic researchers have illustrated that crucial social justice principles are a compilation of equality, equity, diversity, inclusion, engagement, environmental sustainability and human rights. These complex principles are challenging to operationalize in higher education; yet, we are steadfast in our diligence to forge ahead to advance this vital mission.

Community colleges are uniquely positioned to lead higher education in the work of social justice. Many of our students come from historically underserved and underrepresented backgrounds; students of color, students with recent immigrant histories, students from cycles of low income if not poverty, students from indigenous communities, and students from first-generation families.

The idea of promoting social mobility through education is unconditionally and uncompromisingly embraced by community colleges. This is an exciting role, and it comes with a heavy responsibility. Simply put, we need to create environments where our students achieve greater academic success, so much so that we close our persistent equity/opportunity gaps.

If you are committed to social and racial justice and if you are interested in joining a community dedicated to solving these inequities through education, please apply.
