DescriptionReporting to the Associate University Librarian for Information Technology and Discovery Services, the Coordinator of Digital Services provides broad oversight and leadership for the Library’s overall Web presence and related digital access platforms and services; works collaboratively with Library colleagues, university stakeholders, and consortial partners to facilitate teaching, learning, scholarly publishing, and online resource discovery through Web application development and integration, interface design, usability testing and usage data analysis, local content creation, and the effective dissemination of library-generated information utilizing a broad range of platforms and services. 
 
The Digital Services unit of the DePaul University Library has provided leadership in recent years for digitization projects such as the DePaul Heritage Collections, Vincentian Collections including historic texts, images, maps, and manuscript materials, and Napoleonic-Era Broadsides Collection, as well as an array of projects in the digital humanities and data-intensive social sciences, including the DePaul Map of the Month program. In addition, the Digital Services unit has provided support for the expansion and management of the DePaul institutional repository, Via Sapientiae, and the numerous journals, books, and other collections provided through Via as part of DePaul’s expanding library publishing program. Finally, the digital services program is an essential component in DePaul’s engagement in consortial programs such as Chicago Collections.

One of the largest private, not-for-profit universities in the nation, DePaul’s faculty teach across multiple campuses in Chicago and its suburbs.

About the DePaul University Library: The DePaul University Library is comprised of the John T. Richardson Library, the Loop Library, and library service programs delivered to DePaul’s suburban campuses. The DePaul University Library is a partner in a number of campus programs, including the first-year experience (Chicago Quarter), the Teaching Commons, and the Graduate Certificate in the Digital Humanities. In 2013, a major renovation of the Richardson Library facilitated the launch of the Richardson Library Information Commons, a technology-enhanced space including individual, group, and collaborative work spaces, Learning Commons and Scholar’s Lab.
