** Apologies for cross posting ** HERON Liaison Officer University of Stirling Salary: £17,278 - £25,969 per annum Ref: 4314/291. An exciting opportunity has occurred to join the HERON Project in the key role of Liaison Officer. The HERON Project is run by a Partnership consisting of the University of Stirling, Napier University and South Bank University. Currently HERON provides a copyright clearance and digitisation service for Universities and HE Colleges in the UK and is developing a national database and resource bank of digitised materials. This service is provided to help Universities to widen access to course materials and improve the quality of learning throughout higher education. Funding for this project is provided by the Joint Information Systems Committee of the HE Funding Councils, under the DNER Programme. A vacancy has arisen for a Liaison Officer for the HERON Project. The Liaison Officer will be responsible for providing support for both existing and would be users, identifying their needs, particularly those of academic staff and librarians and feeding this information back to the project. The Liaison Officer will also be responsible for helping to promote greater use of digital resources in teaching and learning within HEIs and will take a significant role in evaluation of the HERON service so far. You must therefore have an understanding of the HE sector and the move towards online learning; excellent communication and presentation skills, and experience of evaluation work. The HERON team works very closely together and so you must be both a good team player and also able to work on your own. In addition, you must also be able to work flexibly in support of project goals. Excellent IT skills are also vital. Informal enquiries may be directed to Carolyn Rowlinson (tel: 01786 467228) or Sally Curry (tel: 01786 466616). Salary will be within the Administrative, Library and Computer Staff Salary scale 1/2 (£17,278 - £25,969 per annum). The appointment will be until 31 July 2002 in the first instance.
