Chief Executive Officer – Providence (RI) Public Library

Explore, Discover, Connect…for a Lifetime of Education. Join the Providence Public Library Board of Trustees, Foundation and staff as they work to make this goal a reality for the City of Providence and for all Rhode Islanders.  The Library Board seeks an engaged, energetic leader to serve as Chief Executive Officer—finalizing and implementing a new strategic plan—to build on its outstanding service programs and achieve further levels of excellence.  The Providence Public Library is a private, independent 501(c)(3) organization.  Housed in a stunning historic building, the Library has a proud and venerable history. Operating from a single 116,000 square foot facility since 2009, it is home to more than one million items—including unique special collections.  Library operations are funded by endowment, private donations, grants, and a new event venue enterprise. Supported by a $3.4 million annual operating budget, staff focus is primarily in three areas:  Lifelong Learning; Early Childhood Literacy; and Individual Economic Advancement.  As the state's premiere personal learning institution, the Library is also focused on building and strengthening its services not only for all Rhode Islanders, but for all interested in the history, growth and development of the New England region. 

 

Providence combines the culture and sophistication of a big city with the accessibility and friendliness of a small town. The city's compact size and convenient location make it easy to get to and get around.  Historic and hip, sophisticated and friendly, Providence packs the best of New England into one convenient and colorful package.  Today, the City is home to eight hospitals and seven institutions of higher learning, which have shifted the city's economy into service industries, though it still retains significant manufacturing activity. With a thriving arts community, vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, and renowned restaurants, Providence is a great place to live and call home.  For additional details on the Providence Public Library, the City of Providence and the metro area see Providence Links.

 

Responsibilities.  Reporting to the Providence Public Library Board of Trustees, the CEO serves as the leader of the Library and is its primary public representative.  The CEO works in partnership with the Board to ensure that the Library fulfills its mission and creates the strategies that will secure its future success. The CEO serves under the general supervision of the Board but works with a high degree of independence and is responsible for the overall administration of day-to-day operations; fiscal management; planning; development and fundraising; fostering community relationships; maintaining programmatic effectiveness; and providing ongoing support and leadership for the Library staff, Library Board and Foundation.  See the CEO Job Description for additional information.

 

Qualifications. The ideal candidate will have a Master’s Degree in Library Science and/or other desirable advanced degrees in public, nonprofit or business administration. The position requires a minimum of eight years of relevant work experience, including four years of experience in an executive capacity or other appropriate government, business, higher education or nonprofit enterprise.  Essential attributes and skills include: experience and success with fundraising and development; excellent writing, communication and presentation skills; strong marketing skills with an entrepreneurial focus; political acumen; collaborative and consensus-building skills; and a thorough knowledge of current trends and “best practices” for library and/or nonprofit management. Proven success working with and reporting to a governing board is a desirable qualification.

 

Compensation. The position offers a hiring salary range of $100,000-125,000 (placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

The MLA database record for “The Alternative Sherlock Holmes…” subject field focused more on the general features of the work, including its genre, language, time period of focus, and its bibliography. While the database record included a few themes of the work, the OPAC focused more on the different themes, although genre, author, and time period were also mentioned. The author and title appeared separately in the MLA record, while the author and title were listed together in the OPAC’s title field as well as each author listed separately. The OPAC included more physical information about the work including its format (book) and its description (number of pages and thickness), while the database only included the publication type (book). Interestingly, the records included different ISBN numbers for the work. Because the two systems serve different functions, the database provided more information that could be used to access the record of the work, while the OPAC had one listing for where the work could be found in the library collection. The database also included information on the copyright for the information contained in the record. QUESTION 6: Select ONE of the documents listed below.

The editors and title are listed separately in the database record. The OPAC title field includes the editors and author of chapters as well as listing the authors and editors in the “Other Authors” field. The physical features of the work are mentioned the number of pages in the “Source” and “Number of Pages” fields. The “Publication Type” field in the ERIC record also lists the work as a book. The OPAC record lists the number of pages and thickness of the work in the “Description” field. The “Format” field also lists the work as a book. The ERIC database has an “Abstract” field that includes a summary of the work and a list of its contents, while the OPAC only lists the contents of the work in the “Contents” section. The OPAC also suggests a companion volume in its “Notes” field while the ERIC record does not suggest further works. The OPAC focuses on where the work can be found in the library’s collection. The ERIC database provides both publisher information that can be used to purchase the work and information that can be used to access the database record.

The MLA database record for “The Alternative Sherlock Holmes…” subject field focused more on the general features of the work, including its genre, language, time period of focus, and its bibliography. While the database record included a few themes of the work, the OPAC focused more on the different themes, although genre, author, and time period were also mentioned. The author and title appeared separately in the MLA record, while the author and title were listed together in the OPAC’s title field as well as each author listed separately. The OPAC included more physical information about the work including its format (book) and its description (number of pages and thickness), while the database only included the publication type (book).

Interestingly, the records included different ISBN numbers for the work. Because the two systems serve different functions, the database provided more information that could be used to access the record of the work, while the OPAC had one listing for where the work could be found in the library collection.  The database also included information on the copyright for the information contained in the record.

The ERIC database descriptor field contains many different terms related to the practices and professionals found in “Voices on Word Matters.” The OPAC subject field, on the other hand, contains fewer and broader terms also related to practices and professionals. The editors and title are listed separately in the database record. The OPAC title field includes the editors and author of chapters as well as listing the authors and editors in the “Other Authors” field. The physical features of the work are mentioned the number of pages in the “Source” and “Number of Pages” fields. The “Publication Type” field in the ERIC record also lists the work as a book. The OPAC record lists the number of pages and thickness of the work in the “Description” field. The “Format” field also lists the work as a book.

The ERIC database has an “Abstract” field that includes a summary of the work and a list of its contents, while the OPAC only lists the contents of the work in the “Contents” section. The OPAC also suggests a companion volume in its “Notes” field while the ERIC record does not suggest further works. The OPAC focuses on where the work can be found in the library’s collection. The ERIC database provides both publisher information that can be used to purchase the work and information that can be used to access the database record. This is because these two systems serve different functions. The OPAC allows its users to locate information within a collection, while the ERIC database provides a summary of the information, but not the work itself.
