The successful candidate will lead the library into the future and provide innovative library information services to students, faculty, and staff.

Minimum qualifications include an MLS from an ALA accredited institution and management experience in an academic library setting. Experience in program planning, fiscal management, human resource and facilities management are required, as well as knowledge of library automation, advanced information technologies, and library operations (including management of electronic collections). Strong interpersonal skills, including experience with decision-making in a collaborative environment, and ability to work with diverse constituencies both within and outside the college are necessary. Salary is competitive. The director reports to the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
