Digital Initiatives Outreach Librarian
The University of Vermont Libraries seeks a service-oriented, innovative, and energetic librarian for the position of Digital Initiatives Outreach Librarian. The Institute for Museum and Library Services has recently awarded the University of Vermont a 24-month grant to continue development of the Libraries’ digital initiatives.
The Digital Initiatives Outreach Librarian will implement outreach, educational, and assessment efforts for the University of Vermont Libraries’ Center for Digital Initiatives (CDI, http://cdi.uvm.edu). 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. UVM is located in the thriving urban center of Burlington in the beautiful Champlain Valley, an area distinguished by spectacular scenery, year-round outdoor recreational opportunities, vibrant music and arts scene, and overall high quality of life. Burlington International Airport offers frequent jet access to major Atlantic and Midwest hubs, and the city of Montreal, Canada, is an easy drive 100 miles/160 km to the northwest.
With a collection size of 1.5 million volumes and an annual acquisitions budget of $5.6 million, the University Libraries consists of Bailey/Howe Library, Dana Medical Library, Cook Chemistry/Physics Library, and two remote storage facilities. The Libraries established the Center for Digital Initiatives, a gateway to digital resources at UVM, with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). A grant from IMLS in 2005-2007 enabled the Libraries to purchase hardware and software, hire a digital librarian, and build the Center’s first digital collections.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Conducts an evaluation of CDI users/usage at the beginning of the grant period, and an overall project evaluation at the conclusion, using tools developed in collaboration with CDI staff;
