This post offers an opportunity for an ambitious librarian wishing to manage a modern effective library in an academic department. In 2006 there are plans for the Whipple Library to be extended and moved into a newly refurbished building. The Department is seeking an innovative and enthusiastic librarian to help with the design, oversee the move, and manage the installation. Once the move has been made, specific responsibilities will include reader services, staff management, administrative planning, budgeting, and collection development. In addition to its regular holdings the Library also possesses an important rare books collection.
This post is an ideal opportunity for someone to develop skills in library and project management. Candidates should have a good honours degree and a postgraduate qualification in librarianship and/or information studies, together with at least three years' post-qualification experience in an academic library. Excellent IT skills and knowledge of automated library systems and MARC21 cataloguing are essential. Experience of working with a rare book collection would be an asset.
