Position Focus:
Yale University Library seeks an experienced manager to serve as the inaugural Head of Collections Control within the Acquisitions and Collections Control unit (ACCU) in Special Collections Technical Services (SCTS) at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Reporting to the Associate Director of Acquisitions and Collections Control, the Head of Collections Control supervises a team responsible for logistics related to the tracking, movement, and physical management of special collections materials.
The Head of Collections Control has oversight of processes and workflows for all special collections materials entering SCTS at the Beinecke Library's adjunct facility at 344 Winchester. This includes ensuring proper inventory control and storage, tracking collection items throughout their lifecycle, and coordinating routine transfers of printed and archival collection materials to and from 344 Winchester, including transfers to other Beinecke locations, Yale special collections repositories, and the Library Shelving Facility (LSF). Collections Control staff are also responsible for archival supply ordering and management, as well as housing, source marking, and plating relevant items. The Collections Control team most closely collaborates with Library Collection Services and Preservation and Conservation Services to ensure effective collections care and transfer, but also works with departments across the Beinecke and Library, including Public Services and Operations.

The ACCU comprises teams dedicated to acquisitions, accessioning, and collections control, managing materials acquired by the Beinecke across all formats. The work of the unit is highly interdependent, and ACCU staff collaborate with colleagues across Yale University Library along with external vendors. Together with the Associate Director, Head of Acquisitions, and Head of Archival Accessioning, the Head of Collections Control forms part of the unit's leadership team assisting in the ongoing strategic planning and policy development within ACCU.
The Head of Collections Control actively contributes to the development and implementation of department-wide goals and initiatives. Also engages in cross-departmental activities and contributes to Yale University Library and university-wide initiatives.
Yale University Library serves a diverse staff, campus, local, and global community and is deeply committed to advancing its goals for equity, inclusion, and accessibility. This commitment is reflected in our mission, strategic directions, staff values, initiatives, and scholarly activity. To support our goals for staff recruitment, retention, and development, Yale Library invites applications from candidates who have a proven commitment or demonstrated success with supporting diversity and inclusion through their work, service, research, and/or teaching.
