serve as Discovery Metadata Librarian.
The successful candidate will be excited by our professional transition away
from traditional library cataloging and toward metadata creation in support
of print and digital collections, and eager to consider new opportunities,
creative applications of technology, and sustainable project implementation.
The Discovery Metadata Librarian will leverage a strong interest in
information users' values and needs to work with existing traditional
cataloging systems in support of the teaching, research, and preservation
needs of the College community. S/he will also explore new initiatives and
approaches to cataloging in support of emerging discovery tools, digitizing
local collections, and working with students and faculty to chart a path for
the online life of the College's successful undergraduate research programs.
This is an ideal opportunity for a librarian interested in the blend of
tradition and experimentation, and for an individual whose interests lie in
joining a small academic library committed to supporting teaching and
learning in a dynamic, transparent, and flexible environment.
Near term projects in which the Discovery Metadata Librarian will be a key
stakeholder, participant, or project leader may include:
* Review and revision of current cataloging policies for online resources as
more information transitions from print to online
* Integration of purchase-on-demand e-books into current acquisitions, ILL,
and cataloging environments
* Investigation, selection, and implementation of a discovery layer
* Partnering with the College Archivist as the College prepares for its
Bicentennial celebration in 2016, working on digitizing, describing, and
making accessible teaching and research collections pertaining to the
College's history
* Collaboration with new and sustained undergraduate research initiatives to
create a repository of student accomplishments or otherwise showcase and
enhance the undergraduate research process
