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 (see http://is.gseis.ucla.edu/jobs/breslauer_announcement.pdf ). 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 long-standing leadership and innovation in all areas of bibliography of the Information Studies Department, 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.
