Description of Work | The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Libraries is looking for a professional to provide leadership for our digital stewardship and preservation efforts. The Digital Stewardship Librarian will provide expertise to the Libraries on evolving digital asset management and digital preservation best practices and will work collaboratively with our Systems Librarian, Digital Archivist, Research Data Librarians, members of the Digital Strategies department, and others to help design and sustain digital stewardship policies and workflows. Additionally, they will participate in campus and consortial networks, such as University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries (UNCL) and the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), to support related initiatives. The Digital Stewardship Librarian joins the UNL Libraries at a time of change and renewal. The Libraries has completed a strategic planning process, implemented a broad reorganization, and created several new internal leadership positions. We are currently in the midst of an ambitious faculty hiring plan; our Digital Stewardship Librarian will join a cohort of several new faculty members who have recently joined the Libraries. Reporting to the Chair of Digital Strategies, the Digital Stewardship Librarian will actively participate in this organizational transformation as the Libraries works to build a more equitable, accessible, and sustainable information ecosystem. We are looking for applicants with knowledge of digital stewardship and preservation concepts and practices and an ability to engage with them effectively and critically, and we welcome applicants at the beginning of their library careers who are willing to learn and grow on the job. We are prepared to provide the support, time, and mentoring necessary for such growth. The Digital Stewardship Librarian will have the opportunity to engage with ongoing digital projects and initiatives in the UNL Libraries like those in the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities (CDRH) and our institutional repository . Additionally, the Libraries is growing its digitization activity and its stewardship capacity for born-digital materials in Archives & Special Collections and has an active research data management program. The Digital Stewardship Librarian will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with a range of staff and faculty on stewardship approaches related to these initiatives. The UNL Libraries is broadly interested in deepening our engagements with the important cultural work happening through the efforts of individuals and organizations in our Lincoln and greater Nebraska communities. The Digital Stewardship Librarian will likely have opportunities to engage with members of these communities to provide guidance and support in stewarding their digital assets, building upon ongoing research and outreach work of Libraries faculty and staff. The Digital Stewardship Librarian will undertake their efforts with attention to how social and structural biases and inequalities are manifest in information resources, access to information, and the management of information. The UNL Libraries creates and fosters inclusive environments for teaching, learning, scholarship, creative expression, and civic engagement. The ability to find, access, evaluate, utilize, and create reliable information resources is central to higher education, the public good, and equity and justice. Libraries faculty are empowered to provide an array of library services, collections, and spaces to meet the diverse needs of students, faculty, and researchers. The Libraries is committed to providing financial and administrative support for faculty professional development and travel. Responsibilities
