UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES
Martin and Bernard Breslauer Professorship in Bibliography
The Information Studies Department at the University of California, Los
Angeles, announces an opening for the newly created Martin and Bernard
Breslauer Chair in Bibliography. Endowed Chairs at UCLA are reserved for
distinguished scholars and teachers at the Full Professor level.
It is expected that the Breslauer Professor will contribute to the
Information Studies Department's long-standing leadership and innovation
in all areas of bibliography, here understood to include: the study of
the collection and description of books and other textual works; the
study of the production and use of textual works as physical objects;
and the history of the book, of book arts, and of print culture.
Emergent areas in which the Department is also interested include: the
history of transitions from print to digital formats, and of the impact
of such transitions on the book arts, on publishing and access systems,
and on reading; the design of bibliographic systems that offer scholars
in the arts and humanities access to creative and intellectual works;
and approaches to the study of bibliographic collection and description
that are informed by artistic and humanistic perspectives.
The Breslauer Professor will be expected to teach in all of the
Department's academic degree programs. He or she will also strengthen
relationships between Information Studies and the UCLA Library's
world-renowned Special Collections Department.
UCLA's Graduate School of Education and Information Studies (GSE&IS), in
which the Information Studies Department is located, is a community of
learning and action inspired by the principles of social justice and
individual responsibility and by an ethic of caring. As researchers,
teachers, and agenda setters in learning and information fields, the
community promotes transformative practice and scholarship. As part of a
public research university in a large urban setting, GSE&IS recognizes
its commitment to the public trust.
QUALIFICATIONS: A doctoral degree in library and information studies or
other related field; distinguished record of research, scholarly
publication, and teaching; commitment to teaching and mentoring
students; and capacity to provide intellectual leadership to the field.

faculty.
