In collaboration with CDI and Special Collections staff, the Digital Initiatives Outreach Librarian will adopt a user-centered approach to working with constituents, including UVM faculty, students and staff; researchers; and the general public.
The Outreach DIL will assess and increase the CDI’s user base, collaborate with appropriate faculty to integrate digital collections into UVM’s curriculum, and encourage campus and community participation in the development of digitization projects. He or she will also advance the grant project’s goal of developing collaborative relationships with other institutions.
The University of Vermont (UVM) is home to more than 12,000 undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students and more than 1,250 full- and part-time faculty.
