</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Preferred Qualifications: Experience with mobile and responsive web
design, application development, project management skills, interface
design, usability testing. Experience managing Innovative Interface
products.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://ualr.edu/academics/restructure">http://ualr.edu/academics/restructure</a>.</p>

Resources’ website at <a href="http://ualr.edu/humanresources/">http://ualr.edu/humanresources/</a>. Incomplete applications will not be considered.</p>

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
