Humanities And Digital Scholarship Librarian
Grinnell College
Grinnell

We seek a creative and collaborative Humanities and Digital
Scholarship Librarian who is passionate about fostering undergraduate
learning. The Humanities and Digital Scholarship Librarian will serve as
academic liaison for Chinese and Japanese, Classics, German, Music, Russian,
and Theatre and Dance, providing faculty contact, reference consultation with
students and faculty, research literacy teaching, and collection development.
In addition, this librarian will be responsible for consulting with faculty,
staff, and students from across the College on projects related to digital
publishing and digital exhibitions, as well as on emerging forms of digital
scholarship. In collaboration with other College staff, the Humanities and
Digital Scholarship Librarian will help to ensure that these projects reflect
best practices related to long-term digital preservation, accessibility,
copyright, open access, and emerging methods of scholarly communication. This
librarian will also work closely with the Special Collections
Librarian/Archivist of the College to ensure that the College's digital
products are properly archived. Grinnell College librarians and staff work in
a highly collaborative environment and are organized into five overlapping
functional clusters; leadership of each cluster is shared by small teams of
librarians and staff. Grinnell College librarians hold faculty status and rank
with renewable multi-year contracts; they are evaluated on job performance
(including teaching), scholarship, and service. The Grinnell College faculty
voted in favor of an open access resolution in April 2013.
