The University of Florida's George A. Smathers Libraries seek a Scholarly
Communications Librarian who will be responsible for providing leadership
for the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida’s
services in support of students and faculty seeking guidance on fair use,
copyright and intellectual property, as well as outreach and training
efforts to build a scholarly communications program that supports open
scholarship, open education, and open data. This twelve-month, tenure-track
faculty position educates the university community about modes of open
access scholarly publication, copyright and intellectual property issues
and their impact on scholarly inquiry and instruction. The Scholarly
Communications Librarian will form strong collaborations with colleagues
across the libraries to provide training and consultant services to
strengthen and broaden copyright and publishing competencies within the
Libraries.



The Scholarly Communications Librarian also provides guidance on repository
services and support for researchers’ publication, preservation, and funder
compliance needs. This includes advising on the Institutional Repository at
the University of Florida (IR@UF) as well as general, funder, and
subject-specific repositories. This will include maintenance and outreach
supporting the UF Author Rights Policy
<https://librarypress.uflib.ufl.edu/scholarly-communications/uf-author-rights-policy/>,
implemented in Spring 2022.



Developing and maintaining strong partnerships is a major focus of this
role, and the Scholarly Communications Librarian will play a key role on
initiatives that require a detailed understanding of copyright and Creative
Commons licensing. In consultation with UF General Counsel
<https://generalcounsel.ufl.edu/> as needed, the Scholarly Communications
Librarian will provide expert guidance to various units in the Libraries
that frequently navigate rights-related issues, including Library Press@UF
<https://librarypress.domains.uflib.ufl.edu/>, Affordable UF
<http://affordabletexts.ufl.edu/>, Special and Area Studies Collections
<https://sasc.uflib.ufl.edu/>, digital collections, course reserves, and
others.



The search will remain open until April 1, 2024, and applications will be
reviewed as received. For a full description of the position and
