The University of Michigan Library is seeking an energetic, enthusiastic
individual to be part of the Digital Library Production Service (DLPS) team
involved in creating, deploying, and supporting the local digital library
collections. The DLPS Interface and User Testing Specialist is primarily
responsible for design and assessment of access mechanisms (e.g. entry
points, organization, effective displays) for a broad variety of DLPS
systems. DLPS provides production-level support for digital library
collections in a number of subject areas and formats. Online collection
resources include significant image- and text-based journal collections, art
image collections, and a leading edge XML/XSLT development effort. Staff
members within DLPS assume responsibility for creating access mechanisms,
data loading, security, accounting and billing mechanisms, as well as
creation and conversion activities. DLPS provides these services to the
University of Michigan as well as other institutions, and works with the
Digital Library Federation (DLF) to advance the development of sound digital
libraries.  Among the areas supported are electronic journals; monograph and
serial publications converted to page image format; art and other cultural
heritage images, including objects from the Papyrology collection and Kelsey
Museum of Archaeology; numeric; and a variety of published collections in
XML and SGML. Further information may be found at
