DIRECTOR OF THE LIBRARY

Graduate Theological Union

The Graduate Theological Union announces that the position of Director of
the Flora Lamson Hewlett Library will be open as of July 1, 1997.

The GTU Common Library serves the graduate programs of five Protestant
Seminaries, three Roman Catholic schools of theology, a
Unitarian/Universalist school, a Center for Jewish Studies, Institute for
Buddhist Studies, and programs in Orthodox Studies, Women and Religion,
Pacific and Asian Theology, Ethics and Social Policy, Theology and the
Natural Sciences, and Theology and the Arts. The library provides resources
for professional programs such as the M.Div. and the D. Min., various M.A.
degrees, and doctoral programs, namely, the Th.D and Ph.D, the latter
involving participation of the University of California at Berkeley, a
cooperation which inclues two joint Ph.D. programs. The library collection
consists of 650,000 items, of which over half are books and bound
periodicals, and the remainder consisting of other media.

The GTU seeks a Director who  will provide energetic, creative leadership in
developing educational resources, serve as the public spokesperson for the
library, work  effectively with diverse constituencies, and participate  in
the decision making structures of the Union. Specifically, the Director will
build on and extend patterns of cooperation in collection development with
the University of California, Berkeley, as well as with other institutions
in the Bay Area; assess, develop and administer educational resources which

(audio-visual materials, fiche, CD Rom, etc.); be responsible for
determining staffing needs and for overall management of the library;
prepare and manage the library budget; oversee the use of library space; and
work with the Office of Institutional Advancement for special library
funding and for public relations purposes.

The ideal candidate will have a degree from an ALA-accredited program or its
equivalent, academic experience or training (preferably an advanced degree)
in an area of theology/religion, familiarity with educational technologies,
and at least five years of administrative experience. The Director reports
to the Dean/VP for Academic Affairs. The salary is open and includes
excellent benefits. The GTU encourages applications which reflect its
commitment to diversity.

Applicants should provide 1) a curriculum vitae, 2) a brief statement of
reasons for interest in the position, 3)  specific  qualifications,  and 4)
three names of reference. All materials must be received by February 1,
1997.
