The Indiana University Libraries-Bloomington seek an innovative,
experienced, and user-oriented professional to fill the position of Head,

The successful candidate needs to be able to think broadly about how the

Founded in 1820, Indiana University-Bloomington has grown from a small

over 42,000 students and almost 3,000 faculty. With a world-renowned
research reputation, IUB is also known for its innovative academic programs
and attentiveness to undergraduates. The campus covers over 1,800 wooded
acres and is distinctive for both its park-like beauty and an architectural
heritage inspired by local craftsmanship in limestone.
The IUB Libraries (http://www.libraries.iub.edu/) are one of the leading
academic research library systems in North America, having recently been
named the top university library by the Association of College and Research
Libraries. The Libraries provide strong collections, quality service and
instructional programs, and leadership in the application of information
technologies. The IU Libraries system consists of eighteen libraries or
units on the Bloomington campus, five libraries in Indianapolis, and a
library at each of the six campuses across the state. The IUB collections
include more than 6.6 million books, journals, maps, films, and sound
recordings in over 900 languages. The materials support every academic
discipline on campus, with an emphasis in the humanities and social
sciences. Users can access more than 400 databases, 43,000 electronic
journals, and 224,000 electronic books, as well as locally developed digital
content. The IUB Libraries are active members of regional and national
associations and consortia including the Committee on Institutional
Cooperation (CIC), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Center
