The Syracuse University Libraries invites applications from collaborative
individuals to join our staff in the role of Collection Development and
Analysis Librarian (CDAL). This position will be a great growth opportunity
for an early-career librarian with some collections or acquisitions
experience who wants to become immersed in a full-time collection
development role in an academic library.



The CDAL is on the Collections Team, one of four teams in the Department of
Research and Scholarship which houses the liaison librarians and functional
specialist librarians for research data services, open scholarship, and
collection development. Working with other department members, the CDAL
builds the Libraries’ collections in alignment with the University’s
academic, research, and creative needs. This includes collection
development activities such as developing and leading initiatives to gather
feedback from users; reviewing and analyzing usage and other data sources
to make informed collections recommendations; staying abreast of new
products and publishing trends; negotiating favorable prices and licensing
terms for e-resources; and making informed proposals to select new resource
packages or adopt new collection strategies. This position has primary
responsibility for databases and streaming media and works closely with the
collection development librarians responsible for journals and monographs,
providing ample opportunities for peer support.

Qualifications:

* MLS (ALA-accredited) or equivalent combination of education and
experience.

* Two to five years of professional experience as a librarian.

* One year collection development or library acquisition experience working
with multiple resource types and licensing models.

The Syracuse University Libraries has a librarian promotion and permanent
status process, providing a peer support and evaluation structure to
encourage professional development and engagement.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Application
review will begin March 24th.  Visit
