New roles for the Library’s SMT

Colleagues

As you may know, I have been undertaking a review of the roles on the Library’s SMT to prepare us to implement the new Library Strategy (to be approved by Library Committee before Christmas), the Professional Services Strategy and UCL 2034.

Last week we held interviews for two new roles on the SMT, following external advertisement of these roles. The posts comprise 2 Assistant Directorships – for Public Services and Support Services. The full remit of each role is outlined at the end of this email. I am happy to inform you that we have appointed Ben Meunier to the role of Assistant Director (Public Services) and Martin Moyle as Assistant Director (Support Services). Both Ben and Martin will begin their new roles on 1 December 2014.

The detailed remit of each role is as follows.

Public Services

• Issue Desks at the UCL Main and Science Libraries
• Enquiry Services delivered from the Main and Science Library
• Membership and Disability Support
• Photocopying & Shelving
• Interlending & Document Supply plus the Library’s Stores delivery service
• Communication activities across UCL Library Services
• Space and Estate management
• Health and Safety

Support Services

• Digital libraries, digital curation, and web and desktop support
• Academic Support Group
• Teaching and Learning Support Section
• Bibliographic Services
• Open Access Teams and services
• Storage Services, particularly the Wickford Store
• UCL Special Collections

I look forward to working with all colleagues in UCL Library Services to deliver on the institutional priorities which UCL has set in its new range of strategies.

With best regards
