Reporting directly to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer, the Dean provides intellectual, strategic, and visionary leadership for the University Libraries. With a strong foundation and implementation of a recent reorganization, the Libraries at UNL are poised for their next... chapter of growth, innovation, partnership, and impact.Just as the university is the intellectual center of the state, the University Libraries are the intellectual heart of the campus and enjoy widespread support from university administration, faculty, staff, and students. The Libraries are home to wide-ranging unique collections, including agriculture, Great Plains history and literature, quilts, and the largest collection of Willa Cather materials in the world. The Libraries co-sponsor the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, which has been building distinctive, open digital resources for nearly twenty years, with the College of Arts and Sciences. The Libraries are deeply embedded in the day-to-day life of students and serve as a welcoming space on campus offering a wide variety of student-friendly spaces, study rooms, computer labs, and cafes. Gate counts for the combined Libraries locations were close to 900,000 during the 2022-23 academic year.

The Libraries play an important role in the University of Nebraska System, nationally and globally. Its core mission is to fulfill the university’s land-grant commitments to undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and the people of Nebraska. It does so by teaching students to become critical information users and knowledge creators; through the creation, delivery, curation, and preservation of information resources; through collaborative partnerships in research and creative activities; by advocating for equitable access to information; and by creating diverse and inclusive learning environments.

The Libraries’ vibrant and engaged faculty and staff are deeply committed to their land-grant and research mission as thought leaders engaging with their communities and promoting access to its collections. Central to the campus and library is inclusive excellence. In every area, the Libraries are working to advance antiracism by breaking down systemic barriers, recruiting and retaining diverse faculty and staff, increasing critical literacies in teaching and research, updating metadata descriptive work, and redressing historical silences in collection development and through related archival activities. As defined by UNL, this commitment means that “we believe in fully embracing diversity in all forms seen and unseen, making inclusion a top priority, promoting equity across our policies and practices, and ultimately ensuring that excellence is inclusive.”

The Libraries host a wide array of events and activities that attract students, faculty, and community members year-round. In the past several years, the Libraries have invested significantly in upgrading the physical spaces in the building to make them welcoming and comfortable, and this investment has paid off in terms of increased use. Love Library is one of the busiest buildings on City Campus and its cupola is a symbol of the university.

Several building projects were recently completed, are underway, or are in planning stages: the renovated Dinsdale Family Learning Commons on East Campus opened at the beginning of 2021, the relocated architecture library was open for students in fall 2022, and plans are underway for the upcoming relocation of the music library. The extensive $22.5 million renovation of Dinsdale Family Learning Commons revitalized and completely changed the landscape of the university’s East Campus. The new space won an American Institute of Architects award for design excellence and experienced a surge in use upon its reopening.

University Libraries was pivotal in leading the University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries through two of its largest collaborative projects: the migration to the new Ex Libris Alma/Primo system across all campuses and the successful negotiation to reduce costs by 13% of an extended subscription to Elsevier for all NU campuses.

Through involvement in the Big Ten Academic Alliance, University Libraries contributed to the negotiations in a landmark agreement that provides affordable access to research publications: the extension of the BTAA’s publishing agreement with Wiley, in which authors’ publishing costs are subsidized by the Libraries and open access to faculty publications is supported. The Libraries also contributed to the development of the BTAA BIG Collection, in which members manage their separate Libraries as a single, shared collection for Big Ten faculty and students.

The Nebraska Board of Regents recently approved an increase in the library credit hour fee to support access to collections. This increase was supported by students, faculty, and administration, demonstrating the broad and enthusiastic support the Libraries have at Nebraska.

Reporting directly to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer, the Dean of Libraries is a key member of the Executive Vice Chancellor’s leadership team, serving on the Deans’ Council. The Dean, as University Librarian, collaborates with faculty, students, staff, and external constituents on campus and in the state of Nebraska, across the nation, and around the world.

The Dean is supported by a seasoned administrative team of six direct reports and oversees 40 faculty librarians, 72 support staff, and 130 student employees and an annual budget of $16 million, including a collections budget of $8 million. This team is in the final stages of implementing a restructuring of the organization to better fulfill the strategic planning vision.

The Dean oversees all aspects of the Libraries’ work and acts as the official representative and advocate for the Libraries in the context of a comprehensive research intensive, R1-classified public land-grant university.

With the support of the University of Nebraska Foundation, the Dean of Libraries is an active ambassador for the university and the Libraries and creates opportunities for private donors to provide consequential financial support that furthers its mission.

The Dean will continue the transformation of the Libraries’ physical and virtual spaces, lead major content initiatives, and position the Libraries’ faculty and staff at the center of teaching and research for Nebraska.

The Role

The Dean is the chief administrative and academic officer of the University Libraries and is responsible for leading the Libraries’ current and future efforts to cultivate scholars, students, and members of the public who are astute, critical users and creators of information in all its forms.

In addition, the Dean collaborates with Deans and Directors in the University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries with an influence that reaches across 49,560 students throughout the five participating libraries in the University of Nebraska System. The Dean represents the University Libraries as a member of the Association of Research Libraries and a participant in the Big Ten Academic Alliance.

The Dean provides direction and leadership for locations across campus: Love Library, Adele Hall Learning Commons, Dinsdale Family Learning Commons, the Library Depository Retrieval Facility, and discipline libraries in architecture, engineering, geology, math, and music. The Dean of Libraries oversees the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities with the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Description of Work:

OverviewBased in Pierce, NE, the incumbent serves Cedar, Cuming, Dakota, Dixon, Madison, Pierce, Stanton, Thurston, and Wayne Counties. Communities across Nebraska can create opportunities to thrive with effective leadership and people. Nebraska Extension’s role is to catalyze these opportunities with communities that demonstrate readiness and willingness. Core to this role is the ability to conduct community outreach, visitation and engagement with community leaders and residents. Expected outcomes include: 1) a community engagement strategy based on lasting and trusted relationships implemented with communities and leaders, 2) identification and training of community leaders and organizations prepared to facilitate locally driven strategies and solutions, and 3) identifying development needs and opportunities.

This Rural Prosperity Nebraska extension professional will contribute to the integrated (extension, research, and teaching) land-grant mission of IANR as an effective scholar and citizen. Nebraska Extension is an organization that values excellence. As a member of the Nebraska Extension team, you are expected to create and deliver world-class learning experiences focused on critical issues that empower Nebraskans to improve their lives.

This twelve-month, non-tenure track position carries the title of open rank extension educator or extension instructor, depending on the candidate’s level of education. Those possessing a graduate level degree in the requested area of instruction will be considered for an open rank educator position, a full-time, promotable, non-tenure track appointment. Those in possession of an undergraduate degree in the requested area of instruction, will be considered for an instructor position, a full-time, non-promotable, non-tenure track appointment that will be renewed annually for a maximum of five years in the appointment. If hired as an instructor, the incumbent will be expected to make satisfactory progress toward and complete a master’s degree within the initial five-year appointment period. As part of the UNL benefit package, the University offers tuition remission for full-time employees, up to 15 credit hours per year.

• Entrepreneur-Focused Development – Economic diversification (both within and beyond agriculture) is foundational to community prosperity across Nebraska but particularly in farm- and ranch-dependent communities. Our central pathway to a more diverse economy is community-centered entrepreneur-led economic development.
