Assistant Librarian, Systems and Development
Closing date: October 31, 2011

The World Maritime University is seeking an assistant librarian with
strong technology skills to help transition its library from a small but
selective print collection to a global center of maritime information.
While expanding support for the university curriculum and traditional
faculty research, the library aims to create an extensible online
platform
for hosting, managing and sharing data and services among the maritime
community. Commitment to Open Source is critical, not only to save
costs,
but to foster open standards and protocols that will facilitate
community-wide collaboration. While duties will chiefly involve library
technology development, the selected candidate will perform general
library work as needed on behalf of a student body and faculty recruited
literally from around the world. Working cheerfully and energetically in
a
diverse environment is expected. Fluency in English is required.

The positions offer an attractive salary, free of income tax in Sweden,
a
benefits package and relocation expenses.

Start date: Ideally by 1 Feb 2012, but start date negotiable for the
right candidate.

Duties: Responsible for library technology deployment and initiatives,
the assistant librarian will:
·         Build and maintain library public portal, implementing IP
proxying and single-sign on solutions, and integrating third party
bibliographic databases and local resources via federated searching,
data
mashing, and social linking.
·         Plan and implement a multi-user, multi-project content
management system, which can be integrated with maritime-related data
feeds, reference management software and services, and social networking
applications.
·         Advise librarian in replacing and expanding existing digital
repository.
·         Participate in the development and maintenance of the Koha
library management system.
·         Assist with reference and circulation duties on occasion.
·         Participate in building library staff portal that facilitates
documentation of procedures, simplifies access to third-party staff
resources, and integrates with university systems.
·         Advise university IT on library technology matters; assist
university IT as needed.

Qualifications: Candidates must have a master's degree in library,
information, or computer science or a bachelor's degree and four years'
applicable experience. Minimum requirements are proficiency in LAMP
server
administration and web services delivery; strong programming skills in
at
least two of the following languages: Python, PhP, Ruby, Perl and/or
Java;
knowledge of one or more Open Source indexing systems (e.g., Solr,
Zebra);
Preferred: experience with Dublin Core meta data, MAR
C and MARC.XML
bibliographic and authority standards; working knowledge of YAZ, Z39.50,
SRU, and OAI protocols; familiarity with Dspace and/or Fedora Commons
digital library platforms; experience solving online authorization and
authentication issues; web administration or design expertise using a
