POSITION: Assistant University Librarian for Technology Services

  
DEPARTMENT: Systems

  
PURPOSE AND SCOPE:

  
The University of Georgia Libraries seeks a forward-thinking, results-oriented
leader for the position of Assistant University Librarian (AUL) for Technology
Services to help refine and implement the information technology vision of the
UGA Libraries and the statewide GALILEO virtual library. The AUL serves as a
part of the senior library management team. Reporting to the University
Librarian and Associate Provost, the AUL administers and coordinates IT
support services for the University of Georgia Libraries. The AUL also
supervises the staff at the UGA Libraries who support GALILEO (Georgia's
statewide virtual library) and GIL (the University System of Georgia's (USG)
library management system) and coordinates their activities with the Executive
Director for Library Services of the Board of Regents (BOR), USG. The AUL
represents the UGA Libraries with campus Enterprise Information Technology
Services (EITS), BOR Library Services, technology vendors, and at state and
national library arenas focused on technology.

  
The AUL provides leadership to a staff of 19 IT professionals and one
technical librarian who work in the Systems Department's three units: The
Library Technology Support Group, GIL Liaison and Systems Librarian, and
GALILEO/GIL Technical Support Services. These units support the UGA Libraries'
network infrastructure, staff and public computer equipment and software,
databases and applications, web site, online catalog, EBSCO Discovery Service
and UGA scholarly repository, as well as the Digital Library of Georgia
collaborative digitization program, GALILEO, GIL and other resources. Staff
are focused on planning, developing, installing, supporting, and enhancing
computer-based application systems as well as equipment and software that
provide information to support teaching, learning, and research at the UGA
Libraries (and in some cases across the University System and state).

  
The UGA Libraries is located on the University of Georgia's main campus in
Athens, Georgia. Its facilities include the Main Library, Science Library,
Zell B. Miller Learning Center, Richard B. Russell Special Collections
Libraries, and Repository. The University of Georgia, established by the
Georgia General Assembly on January 27, 1785, is America's first state-
chartered university and the birthplace of the American system of public
higher education. UGA has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of
the top 25 public universities in America for last 10 years. The university's
main campus in Athens, Georgia, covers 605 acres and includes 313 buildings.

  
Perennially rated as one of the nation's top college towns, Athens offers a
vibrant place to work and live. With Atlanta 70 miles to the west, Athens
offers good proximity to the city while maintaining a small-town culture and
feel. The favorable climate supports an eco-friendly campus, and UGA is
currently undergoing a major multi-step plan to convert much of the campus
into pedestrian friendly green space.
