Learn more about the UC Office of the President DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW At the core of the California Digital Library (CDL) is a simple idea - by mobilizing the expertise and creativity of our diverse community and engaging in collaborative problem-solving, we can transform the way libraries and scholars work, thus furthering the University of California's mission to educate, illuminate, and serve. Through CDL's commitment to sustainable open scholarship, an ever-wider range of freely available research informs ever-more potent responses to real-world challenges. Together with the UC campus libraries and our other partners, we expand the academy's capacity for innovation, knowledge creation, and research breakthroughs, and enable the University to produce a measurable impact valued by the state, the nation and the world. The University of California spends approximately $50 million per year on research journals and other online content licensed for systemwide use, and produces nearly 10% of the nation's research output published in those journals. In its oversight capacity of this annual expenditure on behalf of the UC Libraries, the CDL Shared Collection Program works collaboratively with a wide range of University partners and stakeholders to meet the university's fiduciary responsibilities. The program has produced hundreds of millions of dollars in savings and cost avoidances, and ensures a baseline of equitable access to content across the ten UC campuses. In partnership with UC faculty and Academic Senate, these subscription funds are now being redirected towards transformative agreements, facilitating the transition of UC's research output to open access. UC's transformative agreements at present cover 12% of UC publications, with a goal of rapid progress through additional agreements. The CDL is a unit within the Academic Affairs division of the UC Office of the President, has a staff of 70+ and is located in downtown Oakland. Though our preference is for the Shared Collections Program Director to work in the Oakland office, applicants from outside the Bay Area who wish to work remotely will be given equal consideration. POSITION SUMMARY The Shared Collections Program Director is charged to provide collaborative leadership and set the strategic direction for acquiring, building and managing the UC Libraries' shared systemwide digital collection - one of the largest in the world - while also addressing the profound problems in the marketplace for scholarly publications through open access transformation. The position is responsible for both the systemwide negotiation, licensing, and management of shared digital materials for the UC Libraries, and for the university's efforts to transition its systemwide online journal licenses to open access, thus supporting the university's mission to make the fruits of its research available worldwide. The Shared Collections Program Director's portfolio includes oversight of the Shared Print Program, a major collaborative initiative designed to build, develop and sustain shared physical library collections within and beyond UC, extending the value and reach of UC's 40 million print holdings in partnership with other institutions regionally and nationally. The CDL acts as the administrative host for the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST), a distributed print journal archiving program, and its Shared Print Program provides leadership, strategic direction, and managerial oversight of the collaboration. The Director's portfolio also includes a distributed team based at UC San Diego, responsible for the systemwide acquisition and cataloging of library databases, electronic journals, ebooks, and select open access digital resources. Reporting to CDL's Associate Vice Provost/Executive Director (AVP/ED), and consulting within the UC Libraries' ten-campus advisory structure, the Shared Collections Program Director is a member of the CDL senior leadership team tasked with planning and implementing a comprehensive and coordinated portfolio of services.
