The University of Michigan Library <http://www.lib.umich.edu/> is transforming the way libraries organize, preserve, and share access to knowledge in service of the mission of one of the world’s leading research universities. We seek two forward-thinking, collaborative, mission-driven, and innovative Associate University Librarians (AUL) to join the library’s leadership team, reporting to the Dean of Libraries. Associate University Librarian for Library Information Technology<http://www.lib.umich.edu/library-information-technology%20>(LIT) The AUL for LIT will lead the development of information technology in support of the university’s current and emerging research needs, and the advancement of scholarly literacy and instructional technologies. To direct the development, management, and maintenance of a flexible and reliable technology environment, the AUL for LIT will lead 60 talented staff members in six units: Core Services, Digital Library Production Services, Learning Technology Incubation Group, Library Systems, User Experience, and Web Systems. The AUL for LIT must possess the technical and conceptual knowledge to represent the library in broad conversations about IT, and advance the campus-wide development of emerging instructional technologies as well as systems to enable emerging research needs, including the management and preservation of data. Associate University Librarian for Publishing<http://www.publishing.umich.edu/> and Director, University of Michigan Press <http://www.press.umich.edu/> The AUL for Publishing will lead our unique library-based publishing enterprise, which comprises a broad range of print and online publications and publishing services, and whose premier imprint is the University of Michigan Press. Toward the shared goal of ensuring that the benefits of scholarship accrue to everyone, the AUL for Publishing will lead 50 talented staff members in seven units: Editorial, Marketing and Outreach, Publishing Production and Fulfillment, Publishing Technology, Administrative Services, Copyright, and Deep Blue (U-M’s institutional repository). Our new AUL for Publishing will have a deep understanding of the rapidly changing landscape of scholarship and scholarly publishing, and a commitment to exploration and experimentation to fulfill our mission to publish, disseminate, and preserve the scholarly conversation in an expansive variety of formats and modes. We are searching for professionals with a deep understanding of the myriad and changing roles of the library, who view publishing and information technology as integral to our mission, and who can excel within the context of a world-class research university. Because we are committed to diversity, we ask our leaders to develop and nurture the individual and collective skills to recognize, celebrate, and deploy difference as a path to engagement, innovation, and the generation of new ideas.
