Dear All
A vacancy has arisen in the Metadata and Discovery Team at Royal Holloway, University of London, owing to an internal secondment to the collections migration project for our new Library and Student Services Centre. The closing date is Monday 12 June. I'd be grateful if you could circulate the details to interested colleagues.
With the implementation of Alma as our new library management system in January 2016 and the forthcoming move to a new Library and Student Services Centre in autumn 2017, Library Services at Royal Holloway, University of London is going through an exciting period of development and change. As a result of these two major projects, which offer the opportunity to re-shape and develop our services, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, experienced and motivated individual to the temporary role of Senior Information Assistant, Metadata and Discovery (4 Month Post). This will provide cover for a colleague who is seconded to the collections migration project for our new building.
The Senior Information Assistant, Metadata and Discovery will work closely with staff across the library to improve the discovery of and access to the library's digital and print collections through a variety of activities in metadata creation, enhancement, maintenance and troubleshooting. Specifically the post holder will have responsibility for:
* Creating metadata for a wide range of resources, including loading of external data and the manual creation of bibliographic catalogue records.
* Carrying out appropriate spot checking of catalogue records for new acquisitions which are imported in to the Library Management System as part of the shelf-ready process.
The Senior Information Assistant will also support metadata projects, and work with the Metadata, Discovery and Analytics Co-ordinator to advance the library's metadata and discovery services.
