OSU Libraries and Press is seeking a University Records Manager. This is a full-time (1.00 FTE), 12-month, professional faculty position.

The University Records Manager is a Professional Faculty position within the OSU Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC) and reports to the Head of Archival Processing. The University Records Manager is responsible for coordinating records management services and workflows within Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) and across OSU, including: the development, implementation, timely revisions of records management policies and retention schedules, oversight of the offsite storage vendor (Iron Mountain) contract and on-going activities related to record retrievals and returns, and identifying university records with long-term historical or administrative value for inclusion in the SCARC collections. The University Records Manager works collaboratively with academic and administrative units across OSU to apply policies and retention schedules, and to educate OSU employees and students about records management. In collaboration with Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC) colleagues, the University Records Manager fosters a culture of ethical, service-oriented stewardship. Robust and effective records management ensures that OSU identifies, preserves and provides access to the institutional records needed to perform essential functions and comply with relevant laws, regulations, and contractual requirements. The University Records Manager also protects the university and its resources by ensuring that non-essential records are identified and retained or destroyed according to applicable retention policies.

As the repository for and steward of the OSU Libraries’ rare and unique materials, SCARC builds distinctive collections in five signature areas: natural resources, the history of science, university history, Oregon’s hops and brewing history, and Oregon’s multicultural communities. These collections encompass manuscripts, archives, rare books, oral histories, photographs, ephemera, audio/visual materials, and electronic records. SCARC makes these resources available to the OSU community, Oregonians, and the larger community of scholars and independent researchers, and provides opportunities for teaching, inquiry, and learning.
