Library Director and University Librarian
LIBRARY DIRECTOR AND UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN The University of Chicago invites applications and nominations for the position of Library Director and University Librarian. Reporting to the Provost, the Library Director is a critical partner in, and facilitator of, the rigorous intellectual engagement that characterizes the University of Chicago. The new Library Director will have a tremendous opportunity to work across the entire university, building upon the Library’s exceptional service-oriented culture in order to further the rigorous academic goals of the University. Working with a team of approximately 200 talented and dedicated library staff, the new Library Director will lead the process of developing and implementing a comprehensive strategic vision for the future of the Library, in terms of both its role within the University ecosystem and its relationship to the fast-changing world of information management. The new Library Director will be an experienced and effective leader who will be a champion for the centrality of the library in an academic research university. The new Library Director should bring a creative, intellectual, and collaborative spirit to the challenge of making a library that is already well respected and beloved for the depth of its collections and prominence both on- and off-campus even more central to the University of Chicago’s mission and even more recognized around the nation and world. The Joseph Regenstein Library University of Chicago, Library Director and University Librarian Page 2 ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY The University of Chicago is a research university in a dynamic urban setting that has driven new ways of thinking since 1890.

RICE AND JOSHUA JORTNER OST SCIENTISTS EARN RECOGNITION FROM THE QUALITY of their Mcontributions to the development of our understanding of nature, some earn recognition because of the public stances they take, at personal peril, on moral issues, and some earn recognition by the positions they take on important issues at the intersection of science and politics. Only a very few earn recognition for all three reasons. James Franck was one such scientist. He made early very important contributions to the experimental basis for the quantum mechanical description of atoms and molecules, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1925, and to the understanding of the physical processes underlying photochemical processes and reactions. He was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences in 1944.
