Sounds oh so politically correct...; those dratted tobacco rascals. Who pays the bills for the library to do these things? California taxpayers? Revenues from the tobacco settlements?
By the way, I do not smoke.

PROJECT MANAGER
TOBACCO CONTROL DIGITAL LIBRARY
The University of California, San Francisco seeks an individual to provide
leadership in digital library services, content and projects for tobacco
control.
UCSF is one of the ten campuses of the University of California devoted
exclusively to the academic health sciences and related professions. The
Library serves 3,500 graduate students and supports the teaching, research
and service missions of the campus. Long renowned for the depth and breadth
of its paper collection, the UCSF Library and Center for Knowledge
Management is developing a leadership role in the digital services and
resources. The Library serves as a campus focal point for knowledge-based
applications of information technology. The library has both paper and
digital tobacco control initiatives.
The UCSF Library has been a leader in the field of tobacco industry document
research and access since UCSF established the Tobacco Control Archives
(TCA) in 1994. TCA provides a centralized source of information about the
tobacco control movement and resulting legislation. It collects, preserves,
and provides access to papers, unpublished documents, and electronic
resources. Highlights include the Brown & Williamson Collection-the first
tobacco industry documents to be released on the Internet- documentation of
the lawsuit challenging the Joe Camel ad campaign, and the British American
Tobacco Company Collection, offering a small number of digital documents
from a print-only depository in the UK. The Library is home to the recently
released Legacy Tobacco Documents Library, a collection of 20,000,000 pages
of previously secret documents from tobacco industry files. The documents
represent the world's largest public digital collection maintained by a
library.
The Project Manager serves as a leader in the development of content and
services and in promoting Tobacco Control Digital Library resources to
others. The incumbent provides a focus in developing strategies for access
to tobacco control resources on the campus and nationally, and oversight and
coordination of the tobacco control website. As a member of a project team
the incumbent conceptualizes, develops and co-manages new projects that
support and enhance access to digital resources in the field. The incumbent
collaborates with technical staff and UCSF faculty in identifying and
developing proposals to expand and extend digital library efforts;
identifies external funding sources; and assists in grant preparation.
Additionally, the incumbent will work with UCSF faculty in the Center for
Tobacco Research and Education to assist in the conduct of research based on
the tobacco industry documents, including training people how to search
documents, supervising the indexing of documents, coordinating new
acquisitions of documents, and making these new documents available to the
research community in an accessible digital form. It is likely that this
individual will be a collaborator on one or more research grants with
responsibility for coordinating the management of the Library's components
of these research projects and assist in the preparation of progress reports
and grant applications related to the Library's component of these research
projects.
Requirements: MLS or equivalent; library experience; knowledge of Web and
digital library technologies to deliver information and services; excellent
oral and written communication skills; ability to work collegially in a
complex organizational environment; project management and supervisory
experience; demonstrated analytical skills. Preferred: website management;
