Systems/Cataloger Position Annoucement

[Inga M. Waite]

Greetings!

We have reopened our search for a Librarian to serve as our Systems 
Administrator, Webmaster, and Cataloger.  While the job description 
may sound daunting, keep in mind that we are very small academic 
institution (less than 500 students).  The demands within the three 
areas of responsibility are not great.  The Cataloging 
responsibilities, for example, entail processing about 2,000 items 
per year (fewer records than many large institutions add in 
a month).  The work load is varied, interesting, and do-able.   

I will be recruiting at ALA in San Francisco, June 27 to July 
1, and conducting phone interviews with top applicants who don't plan 
to attend.  New Mexico applicants are encouraged to interview 
in Santa Fe.  Please email me directly if you have any questions.  A 
full job description follows.
