Posted on behalf of Gallaudet Merrill Learning Center:
Gallaudet University Library in Washington, DC invites applications for a
new Metadata and Catalog Librarian.
Gallaudet University, federally chartered in 1864, is a bilingual, diverse,
multicultural institution of higher education that ensures the intellectual
and professional advancement of deaf and hard of hearing individuals
through American Sign Language and English. Gallaudet maintains a proud
tradition of research and scholarly activity and prepares its graduates for
career opportunities in a highly competitive, technological, and rapidly
changing world.
Gallaudet University Library, a member of the Washington Research Library
Consortium <https://www.wrlc.org/> (WRLC), provides traditional services to
University students, faculty, and staff in a setting that is barrier-free
for deaf and hard of hearing people. It is also home to the world's
largest collection of resources about deaf people, deaf culture, and sign
languages.
The Metadata and Catalog Librarian will perform original and copy
cataloging for the Library's Deaf collections, provide metadata for digital
objects and collections, and provide expertise to assist other staff with
resource management and control. The Metadata and Catalog Librarian will
have a major role in implementing changes as WRLC members migrate from the
Voyager ILS to the Alma library services platform.
A minimum three years of continual professional cataloging experience using
OCLC, a major ILS, LC subject headings, and LC or Dewey classification
schemes, preferably in an academic library setting, is required. American
Sign Language skill, or willingness to learn and demonstrate competence
within a reasonable amount of time, is also required.
A full position description and application information are posted here
