Collection development responsibilities include selecting and managing research materials in all formats, faculty liaison, providing a variety of research, consultation, and instructional services to faculty and students, and participating in the preservation efforts of the library. Technical services responsibilities include original cataloging of monographs, serials, and microforms in Middle Eastern languages (Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Ottoman Turkish) following national (NACO and BIBCO) standards; assisting in other cataloging unit duties and projects; working with acquisitions staff on approval and subscription plans and firm orders of materials published in the Middle East, including the invoicing and vendor relations; directing the work of two FTE assistants. QUALIFICATIONS: Required: ALA-accredited MLS, subject master’s required fortenure; proficiency in Arabic as well as Persian or Hebrew; some knowledge of French or German desirable.
