Cataloguing job in NYC
I had the following e-mail from Laura Leone, Systems Librarian, The Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th Street, NY, NY 10011 .
...My immediate need is to hire two catalogers. I need one cataloger with proficiency in German, and one with proficiency in Hebrew. From a cataloging perspective, the job should be interesting since it involves cataloging books, photos, sound recordings, serials, and artifacts in a consortium environment, and would involve both original and copy cataloging, as well as subject cataloging. It's a meaty job for the right person. We don't expect to find the ideal candidate, and realize that finding someone with specific language requirements coupled with significant subject cataloging experience is a challenge. I wonder if you happen to know anyone in the Simmons community (or elsewhere) who might be interested. We would consider a bright library school student or perhaps even split one of the jobs between two part-timers.
Laura sent me a copy of the job description - contact me if you are interested.
