Director of South Caroliniana Library

 

Job Description

The Director of South Caroliniana Library is responsible for administering the operations of the Library; for the supervision of public services, acquisitions and preservation; and for involvement in an active development program. As Secretary/Treasurer of the University South Caroliniana Society, he/she plans and organizes its annual meeting and other public programs.

The Director position is a full-time, 12-month, unclassified, tenure-track, faculty-status position with the rank of Librarian and reports to the Dean of University Libraries. Benefits include medical, dental, state retirement or optional retirement plan.

The South Caroliniana Library is one of the premier research archives and special collections repositories within the state of South Carolina and the southeastern United States as a whole. The Library’s collections are used by national and international scholars and students to interpret the history of the State, the South as a region, and the Atlantic coast community. Over 6,000 researchers visit each year, of which approximately half are from out-of-state. There are five research divisions within the Library: Manuscripts, Oral History, Published Materials, University Archives, and Visual Materials. There is an active digitization program through University Libraries’ Digital Activities Center. The Library building was the first free-standing college library in the country and is the oldest continuously occupied academic library building in the United States. It is a part of the University Libraries which also include the main Thomas Cooper Library, Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library, Music Library, Business Library, Moving Image Research Collections, and Library Annex and Conservation Facility.

Distinguished success has attended this joint program of a state-supported institution and a private organization. Gifts of materials from members of the Society become the property of the Library and are cared for by its professional staff. Income from the Society endowment and dues are primarily devoted to purchases of South Carolina materials. A president, secretary-treasurer, and executive council administer the affairs of the Society and, as its responsible officers, are in position to act as its trustees for patrons desiring to make special gifts or bequests. New gifts are exhibited at the Society’s annual spring meeting, and distant members are kept apprised of the Library’s work through programs, reports, publications, and correspondence. From time to time, the Society assists with publications resulting from research in the Library’s holdings.

Candidates are sought who possess the vision, leadership and managerial skills to guide the South Caroliniana Library toward increased national prominence and continued service to South Carolina. It is expected that the Director will have a deep commitment to service and a collegial and understanding attitude toward the needs of students, staff, faculty and researchers.
