(http://www.stthomas.edu/libraries/) have opened a search for an
Associate Director, Collection Management and Services.

This position provides leadership and vision for the libraries’
collection management in a hybrid environment of print and digital
collections. The Associate Director for Collection Management and
Services supports the mission of the University of St. Thomas and our
libraries through the development of current, high quality and relevant
library collections which support the University’s curricular and

This position requires the ability to serve as a bridge between those

functions of an academic library and those outside the department,
including the library director and senior administrative officers of the
university. The incumbent must balance knowledge and sensitivity of the
daily challenges of technical services with an excitement and enthusiasm
for the integration of this function into the broader, user-oriented
perspective of the library as a whole. High level of communications
skills required, as well as enthusiasm for the future role of the
academic library.

Education/Experience:

Required education and experience include a Master’s degree in Library
Science and ten years of experience in an academic or special library
with increasing level of responsibility in collection development,
management, acquisitions, cataloging, and serials management. Candidate
must have demonstrated experience with contemporary library management
systems. Preferred experience includes managing significant acquisitions
budgets and operating in enterprise financial systems, knowledge of
Summon and other ProQuest management tools, and experience with an ILS
migration highly desirable.

Inspired by Catholic intellectual tradition, the University of St.
Thomas educates students to be morally responsible leaders who think
