Digital Infrastructure and Information Technologies Manager

The University Library is a dynamic and innovative environment, with a focus on the delivery of quality online services to the University of New England’s extensive off-campus and on-campus communities.  . The University is recognized for the excellence of its research specializations and the Library provides services and access to scholarly information resources to support these research programs.

The Digital Infrastructure and Information Technologies Manager provides leadership in the assessment, development and delivery of the information technologies required to support Library service goals and University strategic directions in learning, teaching and research.  Such technologies include the library management system or services platform, digital repositories, web technologies, and discovery interfaces and systems that provide access to scholarly information resources in a University IT environment.
