The position affords a unique opportunity to lead the library as the principal campus and community resource in an academic environment committed to information integration and distributed access. This commitment is embodied in the University’s $32 million library which is the nerve center for the acquisition and distribution of print, electronic, and multimedia resources to support community-wide learning. Based in Indianapolis, the state capital, the nation’s 14th largest city, IUPUI (http://www.iupui.edu) is the third largest campus in Indiana with over 27,000 students and offers the widest range of degree programs of any campus in the state. Its 19 schools include basic undergraduate programs in the arts and sciences, numerous programs in medicine and health, as well as other professional programs in law, philanthropy, informatics, business, engineering, fine arts, physical education, and public affairs. The IUPUI campus is adjacent to a vibrant downtown Indianapolis including several new museums and cultural and commercial developments. The Executive Director of the IUPUI University Library will play a critical role in the continued development of IUPUI as an international leader in the use of information technologies to enhance university-wide teaching and learning, particularly as a partner with the community and other libraries (public and academic). The University Library itself fosters a team-based environment which encourages the active participation of librarians in the life of the campus. Librarians are partners with faculty in providing academic leadership (e.g., participation on instructional teams facilitating student learning). The successful candidate will have a proven track record in library administration and a keen sense of how information and communication technologies can positively transform the structure and role not only of the academic library but of the university. He or she will have the experience, personality, and academic credentials to provide intellectual as well as administrative leadership, and will be comfortable working in partnership with other information technology professionals on and off campus. Since this position warrants a tenured senior appointment, a masters degree from an American Library Association-accredited program is required. A doctorate or second advanced degree, in addition, is preferred. Nominations and applications will be accepted until the position is filled, expected by May 2000. Formal and informal inquiries, applications and curricula vitae, including names of three references, should be sent to the Chair of the Search Committee, with guaranteed review of materials received by December 15, 1999.
