JOB TITLE Director of Library/Information Services - Extended Search
LOCATION Cy-Fair College (area north of Houston)
DEPARTMENT Library/Information Services
SALARY Starting salary range $51,435 - $59,149 annually. This is a full-time
twelve-month position.
START DATE January 2003
DETAILS
Cy-Fair College is currently seeking applications for founding faculty and
staff who share our commitment to performing and supporting academic
excellence, exceptional service and a dynamic climate for lifelong learning.
Individuals with an interest and/or experience in quality service to
students and the community, a collaborative work environment that will focus
on cross training and shared assignments, interdisciplinary teaching,
learning communities, accountability and effectiveness of student learning,
and the effective use of technology are encouraged to consider joining the
founding staff and faculty of Cy-Fair College. Cy-Fair College, the fifth
comprehensive college in the North Harris Montgomery Community College
District, will open in fall 2003.
NHMCCD, the fourth largest community college district in Texas, serves the
north Houston, Texas region with North Harris, Kingwood, Tomball and
Montgomery colleges.
Cy-Fair College initiated classes at Fairbanks Center, a satellite center
for Cy-Fair College, in May 2002. Fairbanks Center is located at Highway 290
and West Little York, near the Sam Houston Tollway. Fairbanks Center is the
temporary headquarters for Cy-Fair college pending the opening of the main
campus.
NHMCCD libraries provide access to print, electronic, and audiovisual
resources. Currently, an alliance with the Montgomery County Memorial
Library System offers a shared library catalog and reciprocal borrowing of
materials for users of both library systems. TexShare and interlibrary loan
agreements provide additional access to materials throughout Texas and the
nation.
Library services and resources will be available at both the Cy-Fair College
and the Fairbanks Center, with the majority of the print and media resources
residing at Cy-Fair College. Both the Fairbanks Center and Cy-Fair College
are designed with the merging of the traditional services offered by the
college library and academic support functions such as tutoring and web
based research. In addition, the college will enter into an agreement with
Harris County Public Library System to share the Cy-Fair College facility
(Learning Commons) as both an academic library and public library. The staff
will be employees of Cy-Fair College with all staff members serving both the
public and college students. This structure of services will require
professionals and staff to be flexible and willing to work collaboratively
with others.
