Barnard Library and Academic Information Services (BLAIS) is hiring two new important leadership roles - Director of Teaching, Learning, and Research Services and Director of Collections Strategy and Library Operations - both reporting to the Dean of BLAIS. The people hired in these positions will be close collaborators with each other and an experienced and talented team whose work is driven by values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
The Director of Collections Strategy and Library Operations will provide strategic leadership of three major areas and teams – operations, collections, and access services – and coordinate our work as an affiliate of Columbia University Libraries (CUL). The Director of Teaching, Learning, and Research Services will deepen and develop our services for instruction, reference, and research, leading a team of personal librarians (PLs), who provide specialized reference and instruction services for all Barnard students and serve as subject liaisons to all academic departments; and, in collaboration with the Director for Collections Strategies and Library Operations, coordinate the work of the PLs in collection development. Both, as part of the BLAIS leadership team, will engage in strategic planning and collaborate with all BLAIS departments, the Academic Centers in the Milstein Center, and colleagues across the College to establish, implement, and assess services, projects, and policies that manifest the BLAIS and Barnard College values, priorities, and mission.
We strongly encourage those who will further advance Barnard's commitment to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community, including those from historically underrepresented groups, to apply for these positions. We welcome applicants with a range of experiences, including those who come from a less traditional background. Applicants are encouraged to think broadly about and communicate how their skills and experiences transfer to the qualifications in ways that may not be obvious.
