The Indiana University Libraries seek an enthusiastic and
team-oriented individual to join its executive leadership team as the
Associate Dean for Collection Development and Archival Collections.
The incumbent in this position articulates the vision and strategies
for local and shared collections in the context of the missions and
strategic plans of the Libraries, the campus and the university;

The Associate Dean for Collection Development and Archival Collections
will accomplish this mission through working relationships with
colleagues throughout the Libraries, on campus, and beyond, including
University Information Technology Services, the Vice Provost for
Research, the Committee on Inter-institutional Cooperation (CIC,)
HathiTrust, and many others. The AD for Collection Development and
Archival Collections will have opportunities to explore new directions
for collections by participating in high-priority, high-visibility
projects such as the Office of Scholarly Publishing and the Media
Digitization and Preservation Initiative, a $15-million presidential
initiative to digitize all time-based media held by the university.

In addition to establishing the overall vision and strategies for
collections and contributing to the leadership of the IU Libraries,
the Associate Dean provides direct administrative leadership and
oversight for five departments:

Collection Development Department: This department consists of a
single professional employee, the Collection Development Analyst, who
assists the AD in allocating and administering the collections budget.
This is done in close partnership with collection managers, Technical
Services, and Public Services colleagues.

Collection Management Department: This department consists of a
department head and 20+ staff who manage, maintain and plan for
physical collections in libraries and the Auxiliary Library Facility
(ALF), the CIC Shared Print Repository, ALF Internal Processing and
Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery services.

Indiana University Libraries Moving Image Archive (IULMIA): Currently
with a staff of two (the Director and a Film Archivist,) the Libraries
plan to hire two new IULMIA staff: Film Digitization Specialist and
coordinator for the film screening room in the renovated Media
Collections and Film Archives space.

Indiana University Archives and Records Management Department: The
Director of this unit provides leadership and vision for the unit, and
supervises four archivists who curate university-related records and
archives, as well as Modern Political Papers and the Liberian
Collection.

Wylie House Museum: The Wylie House Museum is an important member of
the Libraries’ special collections and has two staff: Director and
Outdoor Interpreter.

Beyond these direct reports, the AD will work closely with the
Director of the Lilly Library of Rare Books and Manuscripts, the
Director of the William and Gayle Cook Music Library, and the
newly-formed Libraries’ Archival Collections Working Group to guide
library and campus-wide strategies for managing archival and special
collections. These strategies will develop in tandem with the

in which the Associate Dean for Collection Development and Archival
Collections will play a key role.
