The Director of Metadata Strategies provides leadership, vision, and strategic direction for metadata strategies across the River Campus Libraries (RCL). The Director will oversee the creation and maintenance of interoperable metadata across RCL’s metadata-rich systems to ensure robust and timely access to the UR Libraries’ scholarly resources and distinctive collections. The Director will also lead the work of the Metadata Services Department in providing metadata services to meet a range of emerging research and discovery needs while continuing to support MARC-based descriptive cataloging. And, working within a collaborative and service-oriented environment, the Director will develop and implement user-centered metadata strategies, policies, and procedures across the University Libraries’ and University’s metadata-rich infrastructure. The Director will work closely with colleagues across the Scholarly Resources and Curation portfolio, RCL, Sibley Music Library, Edward G. Miner Library, and affiliated institutions. With RCL Data Services and Research Initiatives staff, the Director will also develop services that support data curation/management activities and showcase the University’s research output. The Director will also manage Metadata Outreach, a distinctive RCL service that leverages the department’s metadata expertise to help faculty, students, and the wider University identify and solve metadata-based problems and understand the value and function of metadata.
