Rollins College is looking for a service-oriented library archivist to help
with the design, development and implementation of a digital archive and
record management program at Rollins College. Reporting to the Head of
Archives & Special Collections and collaborating with the Collections &
Systems Department, the Digital Archivist will play a key role in collecting,
organizing, and making accessible digital resources relating to the history of
the institution.

  
As the oldest institution of higher education in Florida, Rollins maintains a
rich archive of the history of the college and of central Florida, and an
impressive array of special collections. We already have a decade of
experience in digitizing archival documents, managed using ContentDM, years of
experience in creating online finding aids, most recently using Archon, and
since 2009 we have maintained an institutional repository of faculty and
student scholarship, using Digital Commons. The existing staff of one
professional archivist/librarian, one support professional, and two student
employees are excited to be joined by a digital archivist who can lead our
efforts to collect, organize, and make accessible the born-digital documents
and objects created by the Rollins community. Consult our website for more
information on our Archives & Special Collections.

  
This is a tenure-track faculty position. Librarians with faculty status at
Rollins College are expected to show a pattern of growth and development in

and liaison with academic departments.

  
MLS from an ALA-accredited library school or an equivalent degree, and working
experience or significant coursework in archival science, records management,
digital curating or digital preservation are required.

  
A second master's in an academic discipline is preferred. Two or more years of
experience in electronic record management or digital archives are strongly
preferred.

  
The successful candidate will demonstrate most of the following knowledge,
skills, and abilities: working knowledge of modern archival practices and
understanding of digital record management; familiarity with standard
principles and practices for item description/metadata; ability to effectively
plan and manage projects from vision to evaluation; solid computer skills and
the ability to learn new tools quickly; ability to communicate well orally and
in writing; ability to interact with the public effectively and courteously;
ability to work in a team environment and independently; an appreciation for
the liberal arts and the role of the library in higher education; and the

profession.
