Full position description, and link to apply: https://careers.butler.edu/en-us/job/495071/head-of-resource-systems-strategies

Position Overview

One of four Department Heads reporting to the Dean of Libraries, this position has primary responsibility for the Libraries' work to provide access to content and collections in support of the academic and student community, oversight of most library systems and technology platforms, including advocacy of the user experience and accessibility of online public interfaces, as well as resource sharing and publishing.

The position provides oversight and management of expenditures in collections budget lines, and participates as a member of the Library Leadership Team with input on strategic planning, policy formulation, the setting of library policies, personnel management, budget allocation, and the development and implementation of strategies to best carry out the mission of the Libraries. Butler's library systems are largely obtained through membership in the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI), and the position is expected to serve as a leader for PALNI system initiatives and as a resource for other libraries within the consortium.

As expected of all library faculty, the Head of Resource & Systems Strategies participates in the Butler Libraries' liaison librarian program. This position has a liaison responsibility with several departments in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, focusing on information literacy instruction, outreach, collection development, and research support. Library faculty are on 6-year continuing appointment contracts, with expectations for maintaining or progressing toward promotion through activities in librarianship, scholarship, professional activity, and University service. Key professional expectations include contributing to the growth and improvement of digital platforms provided by the PALNI consortium.

Review of applications began on April 24, and will continue until the position is filled.

Please reach out with any questions - thank you!
