Digital Metadata Librarian
University of Cincinnati
Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati Libraries invites applications and nominations
for the position of Digital Metadata Librarian, a tenure-track, 12 month
Faculty Appointment. The change in UCL from a project-based
mode to a comprehensive program for digital collections has increased the
demand for metadata services (e.g. descriptive, administrative, and
structural) and the concurrent need to develop and document associated
policies and procedural standards. As more data types are
represented in library collections, there is a growing need to harmonize
descriptive metadata policies and practices across all
resources. The successful candidate will participate
heavily in non-MARC metadata and establishing practices and standards for non-
MARC metadata creation across the libraries.

  
This position delivers metadata services in collaboration with other library
departments, university partners, and external collaborators; works with
diverse constituents to support the discovery of and access to the Libraries'
licensed and locally created digital content and analog collections;
participates in facilitating the ingestion and harvesting of metadata records
and establishing approved data models for the next generation repository under
development; works collaboratively in the development, implementation, and
evaluation of metadata policies, goals, and procedures for print and digital
collections; performs original and complex copy cataloging to describe, expose
and enrich library collections in a variety of languages and in all
bibliographic and physical formats, including serials, media, electronic
resources, and digital collections; and participates in experimental and
innovative programs in support of eScience, eLearning, digital social sciences
and humanities, data analytics, and data mining.

  
The University of Cincinnati Libraries are a charter member of the Association
of Research Libraries. A Strategic Plan launched in 2014 positions the
libraries to become the globally engaged, intellectual commons of the
university, the hub for collaboration, digital innovation and scholarly
endeavor on campus. The libraries provide access to research collections from
10 locations which include more than 4.4 million volumes, an online digital
repository of over 500,000 local digital objects, 148 thousand e-journals and
1.3 million e-books. The University of Cincinnati is also a
founding member of the OhioLINK Library Consortium, providing access to
resources available across the state. Visit: http://libraries.uc.edu

  
Review of applications will begin November 17th and continue until the
position is filled. Applications, including cover letter,
resume, and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of three references, must
be submitted online at:
