[Web4lib] Position: LibraryThing for Libraries

[Tim Spalding]

LibraryThing is looking for someone to take over the non-coding parts
of LibraryThing for Libraries
(http://www.librarything.com/forlibraries), our innovative plan to
bring Library 2.0 gold to OPAC 1.0 slag.

The position is part simple tech and part "sales." If you come from
tech you have to prove you're personable. If you come from sales you
have to prove you're very sorry about it.

### Qualities:

*Smart. We value brains over experience.
*Personable. We're a bunch of trogledytes. Outshine us.
*Hard-working. LibraryThing is a startup, so hard work is expected.You
have to want that. This is the job you think about in the shower.
*Organized. We have a few hundred libraries interested in LibraryThing
for Libraries already. You've got to be able to keep them straight and
not get behind on emails.
*Techy. This isn't an engineer position, but you need to be
comfortable with this world. HTML and CSS strongly preferred.
Experience with one or more OPAC/ILS systems preferred.
*Fast learner. Don't know anything about XML? Spend today with this book.
*Library-ish. We're 3-4 library people now (with 2 MLSs). Even us out.

### Location:

Portland, ME or Boston, MA preferred, but we'll entertain all
possibilites. Relocation not necessary, but might help.

### Money:

Salary, commissions, excellent plated health insurance. LibraryThing
for Libraries is growing very rapidly. It's got the potential to
change the world. You could be at the center of that. And you get
paid?
