UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN LIBRARY

ELECTRONIC RESOURCES OFFICER
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
LIBRARY ADMINISTRATION

The University of Michigan, University Library seeks an Electronic
Resources Officer (ERO) to coordinate and support the selection,
deployment and assessment of electronic resources.  Commercially
acquired electronic resources at the University Library account for
approximately $5 million annually.  In addition to coordinating
commercial acquisitions, the ERO will be called upon to assist in the
implementation of locally developed resources, including the
digitization of collections being undertaken by Google and the
University Library's own reformatting programs.  The ERO will report
to, and work closely with, the Library's Collection Development
Officer, as well as Library subject selectors, key staff in Library
Acquisitions, and public services staff responsible for promoting and
supporting resources for the campus.  Given that responsibility for
acquisitions and collection management is highly distributed across the
Library system, a key component of successful ERO performance will be
ongoing and effective communication with Library, campus, and external
colleagues.  Further details, including qualifications and application
process, may be found at

http://www.lib.umich.edu/hr/employment/ero.html or by contacting
Library Human Resources at libhumres@umich.edu or 734 764-2546.

Review of applications will begin 1/31/06 and continue until the position
is filled.  The University of Michigan is a non-discriminatory,
affirmative action employer.
