Subject: Job vacancy - RSLP ARCHway Project Manager, University of York


RSLP Project Manager
ARCHway: gateway to resource sharing in archaeology
A Research Support Libraries Programme Project

A Project Manager is required for the RSLP ARCHway Project which will
evaluate whether and how it will be possible to enhance access to
archaeology journals and related materials through collaborative
collection management, a web gateway to journal holdings, and current
awareness and document delivery services. The project will be led by
the University of York Library and involves working closely with the
Archaeology Data Service and 18 higher education partners, plus other
organisations in the UK with collections in archaeology. The post
will be based in the J.B. Morrell Library on the main campus of the
University of York and will be for a period of two years. 

We are seeking a dynamic and well organised person to lead and manage
the project and to coordinate the activities of the partners and
associated organisations. Responsibilities will include: organisation,
liaison, carrying out surveys, evaluation, monitoring, writing
reports, disseminating outcomes, and development of the project's
web-site. 

You will need to be self-motivated and able to work closely with
library and information services staff and archaeology research staff
in a variety of HE, research and other organisations. Excellent
project management, negotiation, presentation and IT skills are
essential, as is a willingness to travel within the UK. Experience of
web authoring and events organising and facilitating would be
desirable, as would experience of work in a library or similar
environment and/or with archaeology research materials, but the
personal qualities and skills, initiative and adaptability are of
greater importance. 

Salary within the range: 25,452 - 30,065 pounds per annum. 

Informal enquiries may be made to Christine Ellwood, Head of Subject
Services and Information Systems (telephone 01904 433890; email
