apologies for any cross-posting Oxford University Library Services Systems & Electronic Resources Service Head of Oxford Digital Library Academic Related Grade 5, Salary £35,251 - £39,958 p.a. With the recent departure of the first Head of Oxford Digital Library, Dr Norbert Lossau, to take up the post of University Librarian at Bielefeld, we are now seeking to appoint his successor. The Oxford Digital Library has recently been established as a key component in the implementation of a comprehensive e-strategy for Oxford University Library Services. Three major objectives have been: the conversion of the Bodleian Photographic Studio into an on-demand digitization service; new support for teaching and research activities; and a significant production stream of digitized material, based on Oxford's traditional holdings. The Head of Oxford Digital Library is responsible for the planning, development and management of the Oxford Digital Library. We seek an exceptional individual with considerable knowledge and experience of digital resource management, research libraries and their needs, and the wide range of technical, managerial, legal and financial issues of creating, delivering and preserving scholarly digital material. S/he should have the energy and vision to direct the formation of the Oxford Digital Library rapidly and effectively, and should be capable of representing the Oxford University Library Services at the very highest level.
