The George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida is 
seeking a visionary, innovative, energetic, and creative librarian to 
lead the programs of the Department of Special and Area Studies 
Collections. The Department includes Rare Books, Manuscripts, 
University Archives, and several named subject collections as well as 
African Studies, Asian Studies, Jewish Studies, and Latin American 
Studies. See: 
<<http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/spec/>http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/spec/>.

Reporting to the Director for Collections, this position provides 
leadership for all aspects of special and area studies collections 
including collection development; reference, instruction, and 
outreach services; organization, maintenance, and preservation of 
collections; space management, staff management and supervision; and 
the collaborative development of digital library initiatives. The 
Chair works collaboratively with library colleagues to assess 
strengths and weaknesses in the various collections, to determine 
priorities, to establish policy, and to develop departmental service 
plans that enhance and support the academic mission of the 
University. The Chair may assume responsibility for developing, 
managing, and providing public services for a specific special collection.

The Chair actively pursues development opportunities in both the 
public and private sectors and serves as secretary and treasurer of 
the Howe Society (a development group for the Department). The Chair

sharing responsibility for the overall strategic direction of the 
University Libraries. The ability to publicize and expand awareness 
and use of the special collections, locally and nationally, is 
critical to success in this position. The Chair will actively 
contribute to public service activities, and guide the publications, 
exhibitions, and public programming sponsored by the Department. The 
Chair serves on appropriate University and Library committees and 
pursues scholarly research and writing in areas of specialization.
