Jobs in Library and Information TechnologyOutside the U.S.Current Postings:University Librarian, University College DublinDublin, Ireland , Outside U.S. DESCRIPTION: UCD Dublin invites applications and nominations for the position of University Librarian. The University seeks an outstanding professional with leadership, vision and energy who will act as the chief executive of the UCD Library system. The role of the library in the university is being transformed. Information technology is shaping both the practice of scholarly inquiry and the daily routine of students and faculty, while library services are becoming more client-focused and more integrated into teaching, learning, and research activities. Demands for technology-related services, the digitisation of collections, and technology rich user environments are growing. Library professionals are increasingly directly involved in teaching students and developing their information literacy. These increasing demands occur at the same time as calls for accountability and for quantitative measures of the library contribution to research, teaching, and learning increasingly influence the allocation of institutional resources. The library must deal creatively with the tensions between, on the one hand, demands for free public access to data and outputs from publicly funded research, and, on the other, the protection of privacy and intellectual property rights. UCD requires a Librarian who will ensure UCD Library meets these exciting challenges and who envisions UCD Library as the cornerstone of a leading international research University SALARY: Salary Scale: €114,069 - €146,776 p.a.
