UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN
Georgia Southern University invites nominations and applications for the
position of University Librarian. Georgia Southern University, a unit of
the University System of Georgia, is the largest and leading center of
higher education in the southern half of Georgia and is third in student
enrollment among public universities. The University attracts its 14,000
students (13,100 EFT) from nearly every county in Georgia, 49 states and
82 nations.
Committed to a strong teaching mission complemented by research and
service, Georgia Southern offers a premier undergraduate experience in
the tradition of a student-centered, residential campus serving primarily
full-time students. Georgia Southern takes pride in the high quality of
its comprehensive array of more than 150 academic majors in
baccalaureate, master's, education specialist, and doctoral programs,
which have earned national accreditation in more than 20 program areas.
Georgia Southern serves the southeastern quadrant of the state through
graduate programs on the Statesboro campus and three off-campus centers.
Georgia Southern is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
Founded in 1906, Georgia Southern became a regional university in 1990.
The University is emerging from a decade of expansion in size and scope
which doubled the University's enrollment and increased the faculty to
634 positions. Georgia Southern's 634-acre residential campus is
located in Statesboro, a community of 30,000 located 50 miles northwest
of Savannah and 200 miles southeast of Atlanta. The University's
mission to uplift the quality of life in its region is served through
wide-ranging outreach in education and cultural opportunities and
applied research. The campus learning environment for students and the
public is enhanced by a museum of cultural and natural history, a
botanical garden, and a unique wildlife education center and visitor's
park.
The Library's collections include over 500,000 volumes, over 600,000
government documents, and more than 3500 current serial subscriptions
including over 40 CD-ROM and licensed WEB databases. Additional
databases are available to users through GALILEO, the state-wide library
network, which is available to both campus and off-campus students.
More than 300 Novell-networked public computers in the library provide
access to the databases, the Internet and World Wide Web, and curriculum
support software. The Library currently utilizes the Data Research
Associates (DRA) automation system but will be migrating to Endeavor as
part of a University System of Georgia state-wide conversion to a single
system. The Library is open twenty-four hours a day from noon on Sunday
