The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world's most
iconic teaching and research institutions. Since 1868 Berkeley has
fueled a perpetual renaissance, generating unparalleled
intellectual, economic, and social value in California, the United
States, and the world. Berkeley's culture of openness, freedom, and
acceptance - academic and artistic, political and cultural - make
it a very special place for students, faculty, and staff. Berkeley
is committed to hiring and developing staff who want to work in a
high-performing culture that supports the outstanding work of our
faculty and students. Candidates are encouraged to read more about
the UC Berkeley culture at
http://jobs.berkeley.edu/why-berkeley.html .
In a highly-diverse and intellectually-rich environment, Berkeley
serves a campus community of over 30,000 undergraduate students,
11,000 graduate students, and 1,500 faculties. The Library also
serves the people of California, and the world, through lending to
over 35 countries a year, and making available a rapidly-growing
archive of digitized special collections materials (over 4 million
items so far). The UC Berkeley Library has contributed over 3
million digitized books to HathiTrust.
The Library comprises 25 campus libraries, with a collection of
nearly 13 million circulating volumes, almost 1.5 million e-books,
subscriptions to over 130,000 journals and periodicals, and about
200 million items in its special collections, including rare
materials held by The Bancroft Library, the C. V. Starr East Asian
Library, the Bioscience, Natural Resources & Public Health Library,
the Music Library, and the Anthropology Library. The UC Berkeley
Library actively partners with the other nine UC campuses and the
systemwide California Digital Library. The Library manages the
systemwide off-site Northern Regional Library Facility. The Library
has an operating budget of about $62 million with approximately 325
full-time employees and 600 student employees. RESPONSIBILITIES
Reporting to the Head of the Collections Services Division and
working closely with unit heads for Acquisitions and Preservation,
and other collaborating units in the Library, the Head of Metadata
Services will oversee the creation of metadata for materials
acquired and created by the University and provide vision for the
delivery of new services within the area of resource description
and discovery.
The Head of Metadata Services will build the metadata capabilities
in the unit by fostering an environment of collaboration,
innovation, accountability, and ongoing learning. This may be
accomplished by assessing staff training and development, promoting
library-wide collaboration, and keeping abreast of current and new
practices within the rapidly evolving realm of information
management and discovery. The Head will also serve as an
authoritative resource person for metadata related questions,
supervise and contribute to the creation of original and complex
adaptive catalog records using MARC 21, RDA, LCSH and LCC, and
support the UC Berkeley Library's participation in the Program for
Cooperative Cataloging. The Head of Metadata Services will help
lead the implementation of Linked Data at Berkeley.
The Head of Metadata Services is responsible for supervising staff
and librarians in the unit.
The Head of Metadata Services is expected to be a key player in
building effective relationships with colleagues both nationally
and internationally as new metadata standards emerge.
