Consultant-short term

2010-07-21T00:20:00.000-07:00

I am seeking a contractor for a short-term position advising and supporting the implementation of an improved information management system for our San Francisco-based consulting and research organization (Great Place to Work Institute, Inc; www.greatplacetowork.com). If you have relevant experience, or know of anyone else who does, I would very much appreciate your passing this along! I am having a hard time finding the right resource here and would love any advice others have.

This project has two possible scopes that I would want to discuss with candidates to determine which was the best fit based on fees, availability, and skills.

First, the widest scope, would be to analyze the information management needs of our organization at a high-level, recommend a multi-phased project that would meet those needs, and oversee the implementation of the first phase of that project (which would need to include the narrower scope I indicate below).

Alternatively, the narrower scope, and the immediate pain point that we need to address this summer, is to understand our staff's needs regarding the files that we currently save to our server and sharepoint sites, catalogue and re-organize this information to increase our ability to find information when we need it, and create policies and procedures to maintain this information going forward.

I am looking for someone with previous experience making the disorganized, organized; the un-findable, findable, who can communicate exceptionally well with colleagues, and use good judgment to work independently. Students of information management or in related library science programs are also welcome to apply. We have approximately $6,000 budgeted for this work.

Interested parties can contact me directly at skulin@greatplacetowork.com.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Library Branch Manager I

Library Branch Manager I
Recruitment #1003-000869-001

Salary: $27.34-$33.23/hr; $4,739-$5,760/mo; $56,868-$69,120/yr
Final Filing Deadline: 6/7/2010 5:00:00 PM
Type of Recruitment: Open - Competitive
Department: Library
Type of Employment: Full Time (40 hrs/week)

Date Opened: 5/3/2010 8:00:00 AM

The County of Yolo is currently recruiting to fill a Branch Manager I position for the Yolo County Library. This position is responsible for managing the A.F. Turner Community Library in West Sacramento including branch materials collection, community-wide outreach and programming, providing high level customer service, serving as a member of the Library leadership and policy team, overseeing and administering the branch budget, and cultivating and maintaining positive relations with local officials, government entities, citizens groups, and public service organizations.

To be considered, please submit an online County of Yolo Employment Application and responses to the supplemental questions.

THE DEPARTMENT

The Yolo County Library was formed in 1910, serves a population of approximately 144,310 (2009) and has an annual budget of approximately $5.1 million. The library system includes branches in Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto, Knights Landing, Clarksburg and Yolo, as well as a Central Services office located in Woodland that provides technical services and support. Yolo County Library is home to the County’s Archives and Records Center, and also offers a countywide adult literacy program and several other grant programs, and resources, described on the Library's web site at www.yolocountylibrary.org.

The Yolo County Library is well-used and appreciated by the community. Circulation and usage of the Library has increased every year for the past 25 years. In FY 2008-09 there were 635,481 visits to Library facilities; 293,898 hits to the Library web site; more than 1.5 million items circulated; 20,145 individuals attended 903 library-sponsored programs; and community groups used meeting rooms regularly where available, at our Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto and Clarksburg branches.

This is an exciting time for the Yolo County Library. The Stephens Davis Branch Library has recently moved into temporary quarters so that over the next year the main branch can be renovated, space can be added, and a new materials sorting unit can be installed. This is all happening thanks to the successful passage of Measure P, which increased the annual parcel tax due for Davis residents. A new West Sacramento Community Library opened in October, 2009 and a new joint use Winters Community Library opened in November, 2009.

A seven member Library Advisory Board makes recommendations and provides advice on library policies, service development, and direction. The Library is governed by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. Population growth in this rural community is slow. The Board of Supervisors has committed to preserving agricultural land, which limits the amount of growth annually, and thus limits available resources resulting from development. These changes impact the organization and the prioritization of service provisions, leading to business practices that emphasize technology and other methods to allow customers to help themselves and improve customer service.

The campus seeks an innovative and dynamic leader able to develop, articulate, and implement a forward-thinking, shared vision for a major, next-generation research university library.

The General Library of the University of California, Davis, is a member of the Association of Research Libraries and a major educational and scholarly resource, operating as an integral part of the University while recognizing obligations to a wider public, particularly the people of California. Reporting to the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor and serving as a member of the Council of Deans and Vice Chancellors, the University Librarian provides overall leadership of the UC Davis General Library in support of University research, instruction, patient care, and community outreach.

The colleges of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Letters and Science; the schools of Education, Management, Medicine, Nursing, and Veterinary Medicine; and the UC Davis Health System are all served by the UC Davis General Library, both in Davis and in Sacramento. The Library houses comprehensive, world-class agricultural and veterinary medicine collections, especially in viticulture and enology, environmental sciences and ecology, and comparative medicine as well as broadly based humanities, social sciences, and sciences collections. The Special Collections feature a diverse range of topics from agricultural sciences to Western Americana to photographs of rural California and Oregon and a rich University Archives showcasing the campus's 100-year history.

The UC Davis General Library is an active collaborative contributor to the highly successful University of California collective of campus libraries and the California Digital Library. Together, the University of California libraries and California Digital Library provide state-of-the-art services, such as the eScholarship, open-access, scholarly publishing platform and UC Publishing Services, and access to a wealth of books and journals (~33 million titles), electronic journals (~34,400 titles), 180,000 digital images via Calisphere, 20,000+ special collection guides via Online Archive of California, and over 422 million web files captured by the Web Archiving Service.

The university offers interdisciplinary graduate study and more than 100 undergraduate majors in four colleges and six professional schools.

Already highly ranked, UC Davis aspires to achievements that will place it among the top five public universities within the coming decade. The successful candidate will understand the role that the UC Davis General Library must play in attaining that goal. Specific responsibilities of the position include strategic planning, development of collections, programs, and services, philanthropic cultivation and stewardship, information technology and digital resources, budgeting and financial management, and human resources. The University Librarian also represents the Davis campus in systemwide discussions regarding collaborative ventures and policy development. The University of California, Davis, has a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of diversity among its faculty, staff, and students and seeks an individual who shares that commitment.
