METALIB/SFX SUPPORT LIBRARIAN

Ex Libris (UK) Ltd is seeking an enthusiastic information professional to
join its expanding MetaLib and SFX support team. 

THE COMPANY AND THE PRODUCTS:

Ex Libris is a leading worldwide developer of a suite of high performance
applications for libraries and information centres. 

MetaLib is a portal application, designed to assist libraries in promoting
and providing access to their online resources. Library users can locate A&I
databases, electronic journals, archives and catalogues that are relevant to
their area of research and then search these resources simultaneously in
MetaLib's uniform interface. MetaLib incorporates SFX, a link server that
fits into the OpenURL framework of context-sensitive reference linking for
libraries. SFX is also sold independently of MetaLib. 

Both MetaLib and SFX are web-based applications, installed on Unix servers
(located for the most part at customer sites). Oracle and MySQL are used as
the underlying database systems.

For more information about MetaLib and SFX please see
http://www.exlibrisgroup.com and click on the respective product logo.

THE ROLE:

As a MetaLib/SFX Support Librarian you will provide front line support to
our growing UK customer base, composed primarily of academic libraries. You

This position is a full-time role, and you will be working from our
