                   HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARIES
               UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON
 
The Health Sciences Libraries are seeking a creative, energetic Information
Processing Consultant for a full-time, continuing position.  This person's
primary responsibility will be to develop high-end, high-quality
application programs to support the H.S. Libraries public and
office functions.  Two challenging aspects will be the integration of
the various levels and component parts of the Libraries' automated
infrastructure and writing programs to process Web forms submitted
by users in locations remote from the library. Some examples of day-to-day
work include complex Web page development, evaluating and testing
software (often in a team approach), customizing commercial software
for local use, database development, preparation of technical
support documentation, and training staff and users.
 
The Health Sciences Libraries are comprised of three separate facilities
and serve the information needs of the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and
Pharmacy, other academic groups such as various departments of the
Graduate School, and the UW Hospitals and Clinics.  The constituency
served is on the Madison campus as well as locations scattered throughout
the state of Wisconsin.  The H.S. Libraries support a sophisticated
Web-menuing system and a growing number of electronic resources and
functions available to users connected remotely to the Health Sciences
Libraries servers.  For more information about the Libraries, consult this
site on the World Wide Web:

experience or working knowledge of the Unix operating system (Solaris 2.5
in use) and/or Novell Netware 4.x is helpful. Hands-on systems management
experience with Windows 95 and/or Windows NT is helpful.
 
To be successful in the position, the individual selected must be an
independent learner, a team player, demonstrate strong organizational and
communication skills, maintain a lively interest in the health sciences,
show an ability to use the Internet and Internet protocols in the work
environment, and enjoy teaching computer concepts and skills to co-workers
