Subject: Job openings: Two cataloging positions (Stanford University)

2 Cataloger Openings

Stanford University Libraries seeks to fill 2 outstanding
positions in our Catalog Department, 1 in Humanities and
PLAC (Program for Latin American Cataloging) and 1 in
Social Sciences and Government Documents.  The goal of
these positions is to accommodate dynamic needs of
collection development and to fulfill the Library's
commitment to participate in cooperative programs.
Emphasis is placed on professional judgment and broad
subject interest, both intra- and extra-mural.

We'll rely on you to perform original cataloging of
materials according to AACR2 cataloging rules and local
department policies and procedures and participate in the
NACO and BIBCO programs as appropriate in support of
Catalog Department objectives.  You'll track and
participate in national cataloging developments related to
the material, supervise the work of the paraprofessional
assigned to the subject area, and contribute to the
intellectual and research environment of Stanford
University through active participation on committees,
communication with relevant curators, and awareness and
sensitivity to use of OPAC metadata by University patrons.

These opportunities require familiarity with cataloging
procedures and principles as defined in AACR2, the MARC
bibliographic format, and the holdings and authorities
formats and a Master's degree in Library Science from an
ALA-accredited institution, or its recognized equivalent.
(Applicants currently enrolled in a graduate library or
information science program will be considered.)  You'll
also need an interest in emerging technologies that affect
future cataloging developments, a high level of proficiency
using PC-based applications (Windows, word processing,
spreadsheets) and other computer applications (email,
Internet, Integrated Library Systems), and excellent
analytical, problem solving and communication skills.
Ability to work independently and as a team member in a
dynamic environment on a variety of simultaneous workflows,
while leading and supervising others in a positive and
constructive fashion, and constant accuracy and attention
to detail while maintaining a high level of productivity
are essential.

The Humanities and PLAC cataloger will need advanced
knowledge of Spanish and an interest in Humanities and
Latin American studies.  Desire candidate with working
knowledge of other modern, Western European languages
(German and Portuguese preferred).  The Social Sciences and
Government Documents Cataloger will need advanced knowledge
of al least 1 modern Western European language (German
preferred) and interest in social sciences and government
studies.  Desire candidate with working knowledge of other
modern, Western European languages.

A letter of application, resume, and the names, addresses,
e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers of 3 references
should be submitted to: Joanna K. Dyla, MARC Unit, Catalog
Dept., Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, CA
94305-6004.  Applications will be reviewed beginning May 1,
2001, and will be accepted until the positions are filled.
