Want to make a difference? Want to put your great ideas to work? Are you ready
to be part of a team that is reimagining what libraries and archives mean to a
metropolitan, research-intensive university?

  
The Collections and Archives division at the University of Arkansas at Little
Rock (UALR) is seeking highly-motivated professionals to join its team and
reinvent what a library and archives can do for the university. We are
currently accepting applications for Systems and Digital Services
Librarian/Assistant Professor (R99683). UALR has recently undergone academic
restructuring that aims to position the university as one of the top
metropolitan, community-engaged, research universities among the 16 member
states of the Southern Regional Educational Board (SREB). The new division was
formed as part of that restructuring and includes Ottenheimer Library, Center
for Arkansas History and Culture, and Sequoyah National Research Center.

  
We will be answering questions about the university and this position at ALA
midwinter. We expect to conduct on-campus interviews in April with an
anticipated start date of July 2015.

  
This position is an important part of the university's plan to create a
library and archives unit that contributes to student success in a community-
engaged metropolitan research university. Duties include administering the ILS
and supporting other campus library and archive information systems,
contributing to the technology strategy and projects planning efforts of the
division, supporting the development of search and access systems, and
assisting with training and development efforts. This position holds a faculty
appointment with rank leading to tenure.

  
The librarian supports the creation, redesign, and ongoing maintenance of the
library's websites and projects, plugins, and social media projects. The
librarian is responsible for development and maintenance of interfaces between
application platforms, applications, and other systems; integration of
locally-developed and third-party applications; providing functional support
and training for all applications modules; and the creation of custom reports.

  
Minimum Qualifications: Master's degree in
Library/Information Science from an ALA-accredited school is required with a
minimum of two (2) years' experience in a library setting.

  
Preferred Qualifications: Experience with mobile and
responsive web design, application development, project management skills,
interface design, usability testing. Experience managing Innovative Interface
products.

  
UALR is positioning itself for the future by emphasizing interdisciplinary
collaboration, high impact learning experiences, community connections, and a
campus-wide commitment to student success. The campus is currently undergoing
an extensive administrative and academic reorganization in order to align its
assets more effectively with these priorities. This is an exciting time to be
at UALR. For more information visit the reorganization web site at
