Head of Electronic Resources and Serials Acquisitions</a>. This person will be responsible for three units—two
<span style="color:black">with an emphasis on </span>print serials (still a very big deal for Harvard) and one focused<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><span style="color:black">solely </span>on electronic resources. The ideal candidate would be comfortable in a role that has both internal and outward facing responsibilities. Internally, this leader would help staff manage the continuing transition

best practices, and workflows for managing fee-based and open access online resources that encompass all library parties of the content ecosystem--collection development, technical services, and scholarly communication while maintaining the accurate and timely
acquisition of a significant and robust collection of print serials.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><br>

leadership at Harvard, and with Harvard Library’s strategic partners in ReCAP, Ivy Plus Libraries, and beyond, the Head creates and recommends best practices for successful license and access negotiation strategy, resource purchasing models, resource sharing,
resource analysis and assessment, long-term preservation, usage data analysis, and implements sustainable workflows and staffing models that support these activities in an environment that builds and maintains both print and electronic collections locally
and through inter-institutional arrangements. S/he advocates for adapting how such content may be used to support users’ evolving research and scholarship needs.</span><br>

Along with three direct reports, this leader will guide a team of nine staff in support of electronic resources management and 20 staff who oversee a blend of much of the print and electronic serials acquisitions activities for the Harvard Library. S/he applies

imminent.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
