Description
Reporting to the Associate Dean for Collections, Systems and Digital Strategies, the Metadata and Cataloging Librarian will join a library team of faculty and staff specializing in Acquisitions and Electronic Resource Management (ERM), Interlibrary Loan, Systems, Cataloging, and Digital Initiatives. A core element of this position’s work is the creation of original and enhanced metadata description of library resources and collections in multiple formats with emphasis on inclusive and reparative resource description. An expected focus will be to work with relevant colleagues within the library and the Cal Poly community to identify opportunities to collaborate with community members to identify, prioritize, and add names and topics to national subject, geographical, and name indexes, including those associated with the U.S. Library of Congress, with a specific focus on underrepresented, marginalized, and Indigenous communities.  The Metadata and Cataloging Librarian will lead planning, evaluation, and implementation of metadata and cataloging policies, standards, procedures, and workflows that prioritize access for a diverse user population. The person in this position will represent the library in implementing California State University (CSU)-wide consortia level cataloging policies and procedures and may lead local implementation.
Librarians have full faculty status and are expected to meet faculty requirements for tenure and promotion. The typical workload allows for 20% of time to be dedicated to research, scholarship and creative activities.  Faculty are required to conduct an active ongoing program of scholarship or creative works that advances knowledge in the library and information field or other fields of one’s specialty. Faculty also participate in shared governance and actively engage in committees, task forces, and professional organizations to shape the future of the library in accordance with the goals of the library, Cal Poly, and CSU. Please refer to the Robert E. Kennedy Library Vision and Values and DEI Plan for more information.
Cal Poly strongly values diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), in the classroom, in scholarship, and in service experience. This position is part of a university-wide cluster of recruitments designed to increase curricular coverage of areas related to DEI, as well as to promote inclusive and equity-minded teaching strategies across the university. The successful candidate in this position will be expected to contribute to the university’s goals in these areas. As a candidate selected through this DEI cluster hire, the Metadata and Cataloging Librarian will be given start-up funds to support their work in DEI. Once hired, the successful candidate will collaborate with the Dean of Library Services and others to develop a plan for utilizing these funds for professional development activities.Â
