"Assistant Vice President for Scholarly Communication and Collections

Rutgers University Libraries seek an innovative, collaborative, and accomplished leader to serve as Assistant Vice President for Scholarly Communication and Collections (AVP). Reporting directly to the Vice President for Information Services & University Librarian, this position provides leadership, strategic direction, and support for a comprehensive scholarly communication and collections strategy, including oversight for a team of faculty and staff. The AVP is a member of the senior leadership team and works closely with the Libraries' directors to ensure that resources and services support the unique missions of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS), Rutgers University-Camden, Rutgers University-Newark, and Rutgers University-New Brunswick. The AVP effectively manages the Libraries' collections budget and seeks alternative scholarly communication models and other transformational strategies to ensure sustainable continued access to resources. In this context, scholarly communication is considered broadly, including emerging trends that support and enable research workflows for the disciplines, as well as interdisciplinary and cross-institutional academic communities; evolving information formats, access models, and shared and distributed collections; and new conceptions of research library collections and their management and assessment. The AVP represents the Libraries in university wide planning for scholarly communication initiatives, and in local, regional, and national arenas. They will actively seek partnerships with consortia (BTAA, NERL), university publishers, professional societies, and other stakeholders to develop and implement a new vision of acquiring, managing, preserving, and making accessible research information in all formats in ways that benefit Rutgers and the broader environment for research and learning...."
