DUTIES
AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The University of Liberia seeks
an innovative leader with breadth and depth of experience
in academic libraries and a clear vision for the University
Libraries in the creation, preservation, and delivery of scholarly
information to students, staff, faculty and the public, in
our rapidly evolving, technologically driven environment.
The
University of Liberia, located in Montserrado and Grand Cape
Mount counties, is the second oldest degree-granting institution
of higher education in West Africa. Established in 1862 as
Liberia College, the school became a University in 1951. The
University has trained leaders of state, church, industry,
and commerce for Liberia and other African countries, providing
higher education for many Africans for whom such education
was unavailable during pre-colonial times and continuing thereafter.
The University is located over four campuses-the Capitol Hill
Campus and the Medical Campus in Monrovia, the Fendall Campus
in the Careysburg area, and the David A. Straz - Sinje Campus
in Sinje, Grand Cape Mount County. Educational programs are
delivered through the College of Social Sciences and Humanities
(Liberia College), College of Business and Public Administration,
William R. Tolbert, Jr. College of Agriculture and Forestry,
T.J.R Faulkner College of Science and Technology, the College
of General Studies, three professional schools: the Louis
Arthur Grimes School of Law, the School of Pharmacy, and the
A.M. Dogliotti School of Medicine, and Graduate Programs in
Regional Science, Business Administration, Public Administration,
Educational Administration and Supervision, International
Relations, and Conflict Resolution. Current enrollment is
about 25,000 students; and the language of instruction is
English.
While
the University has been challenged in the recent past by civil
unrest in the country, it is committed to restoring its facilities
and programs to the highest level of academic excellence.
The new University Librarian/Dean of Libraries will provide
a key leadership role within the university in building an

the public.

and scholarship; a demonstrated ability to create a climate
of cooperation and trust among constituencies; and an ability
to adapt to technological and cultural changes in our expectations
for how best to access information efficiently. The University
Librarian/Dean of Libraries will lead a managerial team of
librarians and professional staff in creating a high performing,
innovative and customer responsive workplace, and will foster
sustaining relationships with potential donors and funding
