Under the general direction of the Associate University Librarian (AUL) for
Collection Management and Scholarly Communication, the Director of the
Southern Regional Library Facility (SRLF) and Collaborative Shared Print
Programs is responsible for the leadership, management and operations of
the SRLF and for Collaborative Shared Print Programs. The Director manages
the UC Southern Regional Library Facility (SRLF), a university-wide
academic support program stewarding library materials including special
collections, manuscripts, archives, audio-visual collections and content
for the five southern campuses and stewarding the materials of the UC
Shared Print Archives Program. Responsibilities include the planning for
the growth of collaborative shared print activities, positioning the SRLF
to play a leadership role in a network of shared print repositories,
implementing innovative technical and other service enhancements to improve
cross institutional sharing and management of collections and coordinating
and overseeing preservation imaging services including large scale
digitization and reformatting.

SRLF is a large-scale, high density, environmentally controlled collection
management facility located on the UCLA campus, with capacity for seven
million volume equivalents. It serves the five southern campuses of the
University of California: Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, and
Santa Barbara, as well as the northern UC campuses.

The SRLF Preservation Imaging Service enables libraries to preserve fragile
print materials through microfilm or digital formatting, and to share the
resulting images with other libraries and the general public through
Internet/Web access to the UCLA Digital Library and/or the California
Digital Library, or though the less vulnerable medium of microfilm.

The SRLF participates in the UC Shared Print Archive Program, providing
storage for the print copy of select journal titles. The print archive
programs held at the SRLF have grown to include the JSTOR Archive and UC
Shared Print for Licensed Content (with content fully accessible online),
and the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST Archive) that includes 100+
member libraries and more than 400K journal volumes archived across the
WEST membership.
