The Head of Resource and Acquisition Management (HRaAM) is responsible for those operations of an academic library that are traditionally referred to in the library profession as technical services. Broadly, these activities typically include acquisitions, cataloging, serials control, and both collection management and assessment activities. At Hamline, the HRaAM also oversees interlibrary loan operations as well as some document digitization services. Hamline University Library and Archives (HULA) combines these operations within a department dubbed Resource and Acquisition Management (RaAM)
The HRaAM plans and oversees services, processes, and policies that support the availability of and access to library content–in both physical and digital formats—with a particular focus on efficiency, economy, and effectiveness.
The HRaAM leads the RaAM Department. This position is one within HULA that collectively constitute the Library Leadership Team (LLT). The LLT provides leadership, management, and day-to-day oversight of HULA operations.
