Colleagues, The University of Michigan Library is pleased to announce a posting for a significant new position and a key part of our executive team. I've pasted the beginning of the position description below. A full description with application information is online at this URL: http://www.lib.umich.edu/hr/employment/aul.html I'd be pleased to talk to anyone more about the position and about our administrative group. This is a very important position with responsibility for significant resources. John ======== Among other initiatives, the University of Michigan University Libraryıs partnership with Google to digitize its collection (http://www.lib.umich.edu/mdp/) is transforming our ability to search and find information, as well as the practice of research and scholarship. Across the world, libraries are at the center of a vitally important public debate over the extent to which the promise of information technology will be realized. Decisions over the next several years will determine whether people can find scholarly and cultural works, and will also determine whether we can preserve these works for future generations. The University Library seeks an Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Resources (AUL for SR) to be a national leader in this discussion and to advance scholarly communication issues such as copyright, scholarly publication pricing, alternative publishing models, institutional repositories, and open access. -- John Price Wilkin Associate University Librarian for Library Information Technology and Technical and Access Services University Library 818 Hatcher South University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1205 Phone: 734.764.8016 Fax: 734.763.5080 Email: [log in to unmask]
