Want to make a difference? Want to put your great ideas to work? Are you
ready to be part of a team that is reimagining what libraries and archives
mean to a metropolitan, research-intensive university?

The Collections and Archives division at the University of Arkansas at
Little Rock (UALR) is seeking highly-motivated professionals to join its
team and reinvent what a library and archives can do for the university. We
are currently accepting applications for Systems and Digital Services
Librarian/Assistant Professor (R99683). UALR has recently undergone
academic restructuring that aims to position the university as one of the
top metropolitan, community-engaged, research universities among the 16
member states of the Southern Regional Educational Board (SREB). The new
division was formed as part of that restructuring and includes Ottenheimer
Library, Center for Arkansas History and Culture, and Sequoyah National
Research Center.

We will be answering questions about the university and this position at
ALA midwinter. We expect to conduct on-campus interviews in April with an
anticipated start date of July 2015.

This position is an important part of the university’s plan to create a
library and archives unit that contributes to student success in a
community-engaged metropolitan research university. Duties include
administering the ILS and supporting other campus library and archive
information systems, contributing to the technology strategy and projects
planning efforts of the division, supporting the development of search and
access systems, and assisting with training and development efforts. This
position holds a faculty appointment with rank leading to tenure.

The librarian supports the creation, redesign, and ongoing maintenance of
the library’s websites and projects, plugins, and social media projects.
The librarian is responsible for development and maintenance of interfaces
between application platforms, applications, and other systems; integration
of locally-developed and third-party applications; providing functional
support and training for all applications modules; and the creation of
custom reports.

Minimum Qualifications:  Master's degree in Library/Information Science
from an ALA-accredited school is required with a minimum of two (2) years’
experience in a library setting.

Preferred Qualifications:  Experience with mobile and responsive web
design, application development, project management skills, interface
design, usability testing. Experience managing Innovative Interface
products.

UALR is positioning itself for the future by emphasizing interdisciplinary
collaboration, high impact learning experiences, community connections, and
a campus-wide commitment to student success. The campus is currently
undergoing an extensive administrative and academic reorganization in order
to align its assets more effectively with these priorities. This is an
exciting time to be at UALR. For more information visit the reorganization
web site at http://ualr.edu/academics/restructure.

Application materials must be submitted through the online application
system. Additional information about this position and application
requirements are available under the Jobs link on the Human Resources’
website at http://ualr.edu/humanresources/.  Incomplete applications will
not be considered.

This position is subject to a pre-employment criminal and financial history
background check. A criminal conviction or arrest pending adjudication
and/or adverse financial history alone shall not disqualify an applicant in
the absence of a relationship to the requirements of the position.
Background check information will be used in a confidential,
non-discriminatory manner consistent with state and federal law.

affirmative action employer and actively seeks the candidacy of minorities,
