17. E-Science Librarian, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana

E-Science Librarian
Assistant Librarian/Associate Librarian
Indiana University Bloomington Libraries

The IU Bloomington Libraries are seeking an energetic, innovative and service-oriented individual for the newly created position of E-Science Librarian at the Indiana University Bloomington Libraries. Reporting to the Head of the IUScholarWorks Department, the person in this position will also serve as an active member of the Libraries' Science Discipline Focused Working Group.

Founded in 1820, Indiana University-Bloomington has grown from a small state seminary into the flagship campus of a great public university with over 42,000 students and almost 3,000 faculty. Innovation, creativity, and academic freedom are hallmarks of IU Bloomington and its world-class contributions in research and the arts. The campus covers over 1,800 wooded acres and is distinctive for both its park-like beauty and an architectural heritage inspired by local craftsmanship in limestone. The Indiana University Bloomington Libraries (http://www.libraries.iub.edu) are among the leading academic research library systems in North America, having recently been named the top university library by the Association of College and Research Libraries. The IUB Libraries provide strong collections, quality service and instructional programs, and leadership in the application of information technologies. The IU Libraries system consists of eighteen libraries on the Bloomington campus, five libraries in Indianapolis, and a library at each of the other six campuses across the state. The collections support every academic discipline on campus and include more than 6.6 million books, journals, maps, films, and audio/visual materials in over 900 languages. Users can access more than 400 databases, 43,000 electronic journals, and 224,000 electronic books, as well as locally developed digital content.

The IUB Libraries are active members of regional and national associations and consortia including the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Digital Library Federation (DLF), and is a founding member of HathiTrust, a shared digital repository.   IU is the principle investigator for Kuali Open Library Environment (OLÉ) and is working with academic library partners to develop a next generation open source library management system.

The IU Bloomington Libraries collaborate extensively with University Information Technology Services (UITS) Research Technologies, UITS Enterprise Software, and the Data to Insight Center within the Pervasive Technology Institute. Primary areas of collaboration include shared infrastructure for data curation and mass storage for projects and services such as IUScholarWorks, the Digital Library Program, HathiTrust, including a shared virtual computing infrastructure known as the IU Intelligent Infrastructure and a multi-petabyte archival storage system mirrored between IU's Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses. In 2010, a university-wide task force, led by a Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Data to Insight Center, submitted a report recommending the establishment of an "organizational entity" to play a leadership role in supporting data management and preservation. This position will play a key role in that initiative.
