[CODE4LIB] Job: Collections Data Archivist (term) at University of California, Los Angeles

Collections Data Archivist (term)
University of California, Los Angeles
Los Angeles

As one of the world's great public research universities, UCLA integrates
education, research, and public service so that each enriches and extends the
others. From its beautiful neighborhood campus in a uniquely diverse and
vibrant city on the Pacific Rim, teaching and research extend beyond the
classroom, office, and lab through active engagement with communities,
organizations, projects, and partnerships throughout the region and around the
world.

  
UCLA's diverse community of scholars encompasses nearly 30,000 undergraduates
pursuing 125 majors, 13,000 graduate students in fifty-nine research programs,
and 4,000 faculty members including Nobel Laureates; Rhodes Scholars;
MacArthur Fellows; winners of the Fields Medal, National Medal of Science,
Pritzer Prize, and Pulitzer Prize; and recipients of Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, and
Golden Globes. UCLA ranks tenth in the Times of London Higher Education World
Reputation Rankings, twelfth in the Academic Ranking of World Universities by
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and fifth in the U.S. by Washington Monthly.
The National Research Council ranks forty of its graduate and doctoral
research programs among its top ten.

  
To enable these accomplished students, faculty, and staff to create,
disseminate, and apply knowledge for the benefit of global society, the UCLA
Library is re-envisioning how it is acquired, synthesized, and shared across
academic audiences and with the public. It was among the first academic
libraries to develop subject-specialist librarians and to launch a program to
enhance students' research skills. Its Special Collections pioneered the
acquisition by public institutions of rare and unique books, children's
literature, pulp and detective fiction, works by or about women and
minorities, screenplays, architectural plans, and Los Angeles-related
materials and today leads the way in collecting archival resources in digital
format such as emails and manuscripts. It has launched innovative data
management services and an affordable course materials initiative that have
served as models for other libraries.

  
The Library serves UCLA students, faculty, and staff whenever and wherever
they need its resources and expertise. Reconfigured, high-tech spaces and
services in its ten campus libraries enable users and librarians to explore
and work with print and digital materials collaboratively or individually,
pursue new lines of inquiry, and develop new pedagogical approaches as well as
novel forms of scholarship. More than 3.5 million people visit annually, while
an additional 3.4 million visitors enter online through its virtual front
doors.

  
Whether on campus or online, the Library forms the intellectual heart of UCLA,
a hub for cutting-edge discovery, scholarship, and instruction.

  
Library Special Collections (LSC) is an enterprise-wide, organizational entity
within the UCLA Library System that integrates special collections resources,
services, and operations. Central to this re-organized unit is a curatorial
team of four subject experts (Performing Arts, University Archives, History of
Science and Medicine, Collecting Los Angeles), three format specific curators
(Rare Books, Visual Materials, Manuscripts), and the Head of the Center for
Oral History Research. LSC also includes three administrative sections:
Collection Management, Research and Instructional Services, and Administrative
Services. The Collection Management Section centralizes the acquisitions, rare
book cataloging, and processing of special collections materials; coordinates
lending processes; and integrates collaboration with the Cataloging and
Metadata Center, the Preservation Program, and the Digital Library Program.
The Research and Instructional Services Section integrates public services for
LSC, including centralized reference and instructional services, and
exhibitions and programs. The Administrative Services Section consolidates the
planning, budget, human resources, fundraising, assessment, technology, and
events functions of LSC. The entire staff of approximately 30 FTE work
together as a team to build, preserve, and provide access to the outstanding
special collections of the UCLA Library.

  
The Collection Management Section includes the Digital Initiatives group,
which is responsible for maintaining a born-digital archives management
program, managing digital projects, and facilitating online access to digital
collections and archival description. The Digital Initiatives group works
closely with LSC staff, as well as staff from the Digital Library Program,
Digital Initiatives and Information Technology (DIIT), the Preservation
Imaging Unit at the Southern Regional Library Facility (SRLF), the Cataloging
and Metadata Center, and the Preservation Program to undertake a holistic
approach to digital initiatives across UCLA Library.
