Innovative Library Services. The successful candidate for this position
will lead OSU Libraries & Press in playing a fundamental role in knowledge
creation and dissemination over the next five years.

The Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library Services was established in
2001 as a 3 – 4 year position that works in collaboration with OSULP’s
creative and productive faculty and staff, by advancing our role and
reputation as a critical information provider for OSU students, faculty,
and staff, the state of Oregon, and the larger scholarly community.  This
position is uniquely situated to act as a bridge between academia, research
libraries, and publishing.

The next Gray Chair for Innovative Library Services will lead the Library
and Press’ strategic focus on digital publishing as outlined in our 2012 –

innovative individual to serve as the architect for a forward thinking,
robust, sustainable, and scalable, digital publishing architecture.  The
successful candidate has the unique opportunity to explore and implement
emerging digital platforms and tools that can support and sustain scholarly
publishing in the digital era.  As architect for our emerging digital
publishing framework, the Chair will guide and inspire our experimentation
with innovative means for transforming the way scholarship is created,
collected, organized, and disseminated. Working closely with and reporting
directly to the University Librarian/Press Director, she/he will work
closely with the Associate University Librarian for Research and Scholarly
Communication, the director of the Libraries’ Emerging Technologies and
Services Department, the head of the Center for Digital Scholarship and
Services, and OSU Press staff, to plan, develop, and implement strategies
and services.  Innovation will be key to success but strategic and active
collaboration with partners and alliances at all levels will be essential.

Successful candidates will be expected to collaborate with national and
international partners, manage projects, pursue grants, and will have an
understanding of the publishing industry.

This is a three-year position, with contract extension at the discretion of
the University Librarian/Press Director.  This position is eligible for all
