The Palmer School of Library and Information Science of Long Island
University seeks a faculty member who will also serve as coordinator
for its well-established Rare Book and Special Collections
concentration.
In addition to teaching in this subject area, the successful candidate
will coordinate the concentration, administer the School's several
cooperative arrangements with other rare books programs, and
participate fully in the academic life of the Palmer School. For the
rare book and special collections specialty (which is centered at the
School's site in Manhattan), a broad knowledge of book history, the
physical "book" in its many forms, printed ephemera, printing history,
cultural archives, publishing and distribution history, and current
digital initiatives in this sub-field is essential. A record of
professional activity within the rare book and special collections
field and among its institutions is also necessary. Additionally, the
candidate should be prepared to teach general courses in the library
and information science field and to pursue a research agenda
appropriate to the programs of the Palmer School. In addition to a
Ph.D., the ideal candidate will possess a MLS and/or significant
employment history in a rare book/special collections library.
This opening is occuring because of the retirement of the current
incumbent in August, 2011.

University in Brookville, N.Y. and also offers programs in Manhattan,
Westchester and Brentwood, N.Y. The School has a full-time faculty of
