perform their experiments. The CERN Library which serves this community is
relatively small but offers a wide variety of services with orientation
towards computerisation for maximum efficiency; see
http://wwwas.cern.ch/library/.

Two vacancies have been opened for librarians as part of CERN's First
Employment Programme which targets qualified candidates having no or only
little professional experience (less than three years). Employment 
conditions as well as on-the-job training and other training, as needed, are
adapted to this programme. Candidates having three or four years' experience
may also apply to be considered outside the First Employment Programme.

Qualification Requirements: a university degree and a professional
qualification in librarianship; experience of the range of library work in a
modern library environment, including computerised working methods; fluency 
in English or French and good knowledge of the other language is necessary.

The Assignment will be to participate as a team member in a variety of 
library work for a demanding international user community. This will include
information provision, interlibrary loans and document delivery, user 
support, library technical tasks as acquisitions, cataloguing, classification
and serial control.

CERN offers competitive net salaries as well as comprehensive occupational
pension and health insurance benefits.
