[CODE4LIB] Job: Executive Director, Library Information Technology Association (LITA) at American Library Association
Executive Director, Library Information Technology Association (LITA) American Library Association Chicago The [Library Information Technology Association](http://www.ala.org/lita/) (LITA), a division of the [American Library Association](http://www.ala.org/), seeks a dynamic, entrepreneurial, forward-thinking Executive Director. As the technology division of ALA, LITA reaches across all library types to lead in exploring and enabling new technologies to empower libraries. LITA boasts an exceptional portfolio of products and services: online continuing education; conference programming at ALA events as well as LITA's own conference; timely and relevant publications, such as the (refereed) research journal [_Information Technology and Libraries_](http://ejournals.bc.edu/ojs/index.php/ital/index) (ITAL); and stimulating member engagement and leadership opportunities. The LITA Executive Director provides operational, fiscal, policy, and procedural leadership to LITA. In this position, you will manage the day-to- day operations of the division, including a staff of two and an annual program budget of $400,000. You will provide leadership on issues important to LITA and its nearly three thousand members, including representing and advocating for their interests in ALA and externally. You will work with the [LITA Board of Directors](http://www.ala.org/lita/about/board) to ensure the growth and stability of the Association, and to support its aspirations and strategic initiatives. This is a fulfilling and challenging job that affords national impact on library technologists. As the successful candidate, you will be not only organized, financially savvy, and responsive, but also comfortable with technological change , project management, community management, and organizational change. The Executive Director is the primary interface point between the membership and the association, and establishes the framework for that relationship. In that capacity , you will provide counsel and insight to the LITA Board of Directors, as a full and visionary partner in implementing the organization's strategic priorities and ensuring the growth and stability of the Association. You will support our several dozen committees and member-driven interest groups, promoting their success through communication and policy. You will work with passionate, creative librarians across the United States and beyond on cutting-edge issues in library technology. The Executive Director is also responsible for operational excellence within the Association. You will supervise two staff positions responsible for continuing education, publishing, membership marketing, and programs. You will have primary logistical responsibility for the annual LITA Forum and LITA's participation on the ALA Annual Conference. In collaboration with the Board of Directors, you will create yearly budgets and make high-level decisions about how to spend the Association's money to best serve its mission. **About LITA** LITA is both a distinctive professional association of approximately three thousand members, and a division of the American Library Association, the oldest and largest library association in the world. LITA members are also ALA members, and may belong to additional ALA units representing diverse library types, librarian roles, and professional interests. This uniquely positions LITA both to advance the interests of technology-oriented librarians and to situate them within a broad professional context. The LITA Executive Director reports to the ALA Senior Associate Executive Director. whose portfolio includes the eleven divisions, ALA Information Technology and Telecommunications, ALA Conference Services and key ALA Offices (Accreditation, Diversity/Literacy/Outreach, Human Resources Development and Recruitment, and Intellectual Freedom), as well as Round Tables coordination. While this position affords opportunity to have national and lasting impact in collaboration with outstanding librarians and library staff, it also faces serious challenges. Over LITA's almost-50-year history, technology has gone from being a well-defined niche of library practice to a pervasive force in libraries and culture; more recently, the economic situation has been difficult for membership organizations generally. LITA must redefine themselves for the next 50 years in a competitive landscape. The successful candidate will bring vision and ambition commensurate to this challenge. **Requirements:** * Demonstrated member service orientation; * Management experience; * Demonstrated leadership ability; * Strong communication, advocacy, and interpersonal skills, both face-to-face and online; * Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively, and build and leverage partnerships; * Strategic planning experience; * Demonstrated ability to promote and manage change; * Experience working in a community or field with relevance to

[CODE4LIB] Amazon Glacier - tracking deposits
Has anyone leapt on board with Glacier? We are considering using it for long term storage of high res archival scans. We have derivative copies for dissemination, so don’t intend touching these often, if ever. The question I have is how to best track the Archive ID that glacier attaches to deposits, as it looks like that is the only way to retrieve information if needed (though you can attach a brief description also that appears on the inventory along with the id.) We’re considering putting the ID in Archivist Toolkit, where the location of the dissemination copies is noted, but am wondering if there are other tools out there specific for this scenario that people are using.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Amazon Glacier - tracking deposits
We have been playing with Glacier, but so far neither us nor our clients have been convinced of its cost-effectiveness. A while back, we were discussing a project with 15 PB of archival assets, and that would certainly have made Glacier cost-effective, saving about $30k/mo. over S3, although requests could cut into that. The Glacier location is in the format /Account ID/vaults/Vault Name/archives/Archive ID, so you might want to consider using the whole string.
