Collections Analysis Officer

at  The University of Manchester

The University of Manchester Library is one of only five National Research Libraries and the third largest academic library in the UK. Our vast and rich collections help us to deliver a world-class library and information service for The University of Manchester. While our primary objective is to meet the learning, teaching and research needs of university members, we are also fully committed to widening access to our services to individual researchers, local schools and others in the regional community.
Do you understand the issues around building and managing collections in a large academic library?
Have you got ideas about how data could be used to tackle them?
Can you crunch numbers and visualize collections-related data, as well as writing fluent, cogent reports for busy managers and committees?
This is a brand-new role in the Collection Strategies Directorate of the Library. We’re looking for someone with experience in higher education libraries, who is passionate about making modern collections work to support student needs; a data-literate person who can understand how to manage collections at scale, and can communicate succinctly and effectively. As a National Research Library we need someone who can help us manage our print collections collaboratively, in the context of other research libraries in the UK.
Before you apply for this new role, please watch our video of the Collections Manager explaining the context, and download the Candidate Briefing for more information.
