What are digital collections?

Digital collections are organized sets of digital materials, such as photographs, manuscripts, audio recordings, videos, or other documents, that are curated and made accessible online by libraries, archives, museums, or other institutions. These collections are often digitized from physical originals to preserve them and make them more widely available to researchers, students, and the public. Digital collections are typically searchable and may include metadata, descriptions, and tools for browsing or analysis, enhancing accessibility and research potential.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in digital collections, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in Digital Collections often encounter challenges such as managing large volumes of diverse digital assets, ensuring consistent metadata standards, and keeping up with rapidly evolving technology. Collaboration with IT teams and subject specialists is crucial to address technical and curatorial issues. Additionally, ongoing professional development and adopting established best practices help maintain the quality and accessibility of digital collections. Open communication and regular training can further ease adaptation to new tools and workflows.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a digital collections specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Digital Collections Specialist, you need expertise in digital asset management, metadata standards, and archival practices, typically supported by a degree in library science or a related field. Familiarity with digital collection platforms, content management systems (CMS), and digitization tools is commonly required. Attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and effective communication help ensure accuracy and collaboration across teams. These skills are important for successfully preserving, organizing, and providing access to digital resources in libraries, museums, or archives.

You will report to the Lead Manager for Participant Success and collaborate closely with partners across the Stewardship business unit team (sales, marketing, product, technical support) to increase participant success.
Relationship building and external engagement

  • Lead the onboarding experience, including delivering kickoff meetings and custom training sessions for new institutions.
  • Support successful trials of JSTOR Stewardship offerings by leading trial kickoff calls and checking in with trialing institutions during the trial period.
  • Develop and maintain strong engagement within the archival and special collections community by establishing a network of relationships with members of the field to stay abreast of important trends and best practices in digital special collections.

Internal subject matter expertise and collaboration
  • Act as the "voice of the customer" within the organization, using the knowledge gained from participant and market interactions to inform feedback to product, marketing, and leadership partners in order to help shape future growth of the Stewardship product line.
  • Serve as the subject matter expert for each account that you manage and are responsible for, ensuring we have the right contacts, documenting key account information.
  • Support special projects as needed.
  • Ability to travel required, with expected travel ranging from 20-30%. Travel includes library onsite visits, regional conference attendance, and occasional travel to ITHAKA offices in NY or Ann Arbor, MI as requested.
Experience and Skills
  • 3-5 years of experience working in higher education or libraries, either at an academic institution or vendor.
  • Demonstrated expertise in special collections, archives, or digital collections.
  • Highly organized with strong multitasking skills, capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Proactive self-starter with the ability to identify tasks and independently take initiative to move projects forward.
  • Excellent relationship building and communication skills, including the ability to effectively demonstrate tools and services via webinar and in person workshops.
  • Ability to work well as a team member; a willingness to actively participate in team projects and share ideas.
  • Strong attention to detail and a keen eye for accuracy.
  • Committed to our organizational values of belonging, evidence, speed, teamwork, and trust.
  • Comfortable working with data (via tools such as Databricks) to extract learnings, make decisions, and demonstrate evidence.
  • Familiarity working with the standard Microsoft Office suite (including intermediate Excel skills) and working in a CRM (such as Salesforce).
