The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 572 years. Today, we are one of the world's top 100 universities and ranked 13th in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings 2023, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Digital Library Systems Specialist to work within the University’s Information Services.
In this role, the Digital Library Systems Specialist will support the operational management and development of library-related IT systems, such as Sierra (Library Management System), Summon (discovery layer), and other ancillary digital systems, to enhance the Library Services offered to students and staff.
This role requires a good understanding of all library related systems and how they connect together, and the ability to support end to end processes across a range of teams and functional areas. It will also entail the introduction of new, innovative digital library services to the institution. As the library moves towards a system landscape increasingly based on the Software as a Service model, the emphasis in this role will be on a deep understanding of library workflows and the potential of IT systems to enhance and improve the library service, rather than upon software development skills. The successful candidate will work closely with Library Services colleagues with expertise in particular areas of the service (‘functional experts’), colleagues in IT Services, and with representatives of the system vendors.
This post is full time (35 hours per week) and offered on an open ended (permanent) basis. Relocation assistance will be provided where appropriate.
Closing Date: 7 July 2024
