The University System of Maryland & Affiliated Institutions (USMAI) Library Consortium invites applications and nominations for the role of Executive Director. USMAI Library Consortium includes 17 member libraries of universities and colleges in the State of Maryland. With historical roots in the state’s university system, the consortium includes libraries of both public and private institutions. USMAI is dedicated to sharing human and information resources to advance the research and learning of various constituencies that partner with its member libraries. The Consortium supports and explores resource sharing and enhancement of services to users through programs in cooperative collecting, access to electronic resources and physical collections, and enhanced interlibrary loan and document delivery. USMAI seeks to appoint a leader who will help it discover and develop new approaches to resource sharing in the broadest sense and work to position it and its members at the forefront of consortia enterprises.
In collaboration with the Council of Library Deans/Directors (CLD) and the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, the Executive Director of USMAI will provide strategic vision and energetic leadership for the Consortium. Working closely with the CLD and consortial librarians and staff, the Executive Director is responsible for managing the programs and services of the Consortium, implementing strategic initiatives, and seeking new opportunities and funding sources to improve the services and performances of the member libraries. The next Executive Director will be at the forefront of trends in academic libraries and be able to bring new ideas to the Consortium.
Successful candidates will bring to the role a demonstrated command of trends in academic and digital libraries, information policy, and information technologies, personal skills to maintain effective relationships while building consensus with staff, constituents, and professional colleagues, knowledge of technology applications relevant to user-centered library services and excellent project management skills. They will also have a minimum of five years of relevant and progressively responsible experience working in either academic libraries, associations, related non-profit organizations, or similar organizations. Successful candidates will also demonstrate a record of progressively increasing administrative skills relevant to the position's requirements, including ability in leadership, participative management, and sound fiscal oversight.
USMAI has retained Isaacson, Miller, a national executive search firm, to assist the search committee. Screening of complete applications will begin immediately and continue until the completion of the search process. The full position profile, as well as portals to submit inquiries, nominations, referrals, and CVs with cover letters, may be accessed via the Isaacson, Miller website for the search.
