Director of Access, Technology, and Media Sevices – University of Vermont (Burlington, VT)

The University of Vermont (UVM) Libraries seek a director of Access, Technology, and Media Services (ATMS). We seek candidates with vision and verve; who are creative and collaborative; who will advocate for UVM’s students and faculty and for library colleagues; and who will foster a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

The director leads and supervises the dynamic work of the Access, Technology and Media Services Department. Work will include making existing services more visible and collaborating with colleagues to develop new research-support services. The director will help reimagine library service points as the library looks towards renovations of its physical spaces. Leading media services and technology services offers exciting opportunities to explore new technologies and facilitate research and education across campus.

Competitive candidates will have strong interpersonal skills, a commitment to teamwork, and demonstrated experience or knowledge of transformations necessary in academic libraries, especially technological developments, including AI. Candidates should have fluency in common library technology, including systems similar to those employed at UVM (e.g., Alma, digital-asset-management systems, EZproxy, ILLiad, etc.) Candidates should also think creatively about expanding access to scholarship through open access and other models for producing and disseminating information—a value central to the UVM’s land-grant identity and commitment to the public good.

This position provides leadership, planning, coordination, direction, and supervision for the Department’s services and its team of 20 faculty and staff.
