Data Services & Government Information Librarian

Description

DePaul University Library is currently recruiting for a Data Services & Government Information Services Librarian. The successful candidate will join a library that has recently become one of the first FDLP “digital depositories” (http://bit.ly/1Sj1Oxr), as well as one that has made a commitment to supporting DePaul’s rapidly-expanding programs in Data Science (http://bit.ly/1Y4Cm2x).

About the DePaul University Library:

The DePaul University Library is a partner in a number of campus programs, including the first-year experience (Chicago Quarter), the Teaching Commons, and the Graduate Certificate in the Digital Humanities. In 2013, a major renovation of the Richardson Library facilitated the launch of the Richardson Library Information Commons, a technology-enhanced space including individual, group, and collaborative work spaces, Learning Commons and Scholar’s Lab. The DePaul University Library is housed in the Division of Teaching and Learning Resources, which includes the DePaul Art Museum and Faculty Instructional Technology Services, and is an active member of local, regional, and national consortia, including CARLI, Chicago Collections, the Center for Research Libraries, the Library Publishing Coalition, the Coalition for Networked Information, and the Catholic Research Resources Alliance. In 2015, DePaul joined the Federal Depository Library Program as one of its first “digital depository” members and contributed to the design and launch of Explore Chicago Collections (http://explore.chicagocollections.org/), which has been described as “a game-changing collaboration between libraries, universities, & museums.”
