    Internship — Penn Digital Library Metadata Management (Philadelphia, PA)

    Posted by Christopher Landbeck on September 12, 2014

    Availability: one position available to begin September 2014 through May 2015

    Hours: 10 to 20 hours/week, flexible during Monday-Friday 9-5 time period.

    Salary: $18/hour.

    Duties and Responsibilities:
    The Penn Libraries seeks a Metadata Intern to help build and support electronic library services for scholars and learners worldwide. This is an opportunity to gain practical work experience in complex and multifaceted digital library work at a leading research library. Working under the supervision of the Penn Libraries’ digital library architect and planner, the intern will support services like managing metadata on research data, mapping MARC metadata to the Libraries discovery system, and supporting The Online Books Page, the Forward to Libraries project, and other digital library services. The Metadata Intern responds to queries and requests from the public, researches copyright, creates and maintains catalog records for online books, serials, and other materials, aligns bibliographic and topical metadata with a variety of name and subject authorities, and performs a variety of other tasks related to metadata and public service.

    The Metadata Intern is a paid internship, ideally for an MSLIS candidate who can work 10-20 hours per week during the 2014-2015 academic year. Work will primarily take place in the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center at the University of Pennsylvania; a limited amount of remote work may also be possible.

    Qualifications:
    This position requires knowledge of bibliographic, authority, cataloging and metadata schemes, understanding of copyright, skills with electronic text editors and online interaction with the public, a self-motivated work ethic, careful attention to detail, adaptability, and readiness to acquire new skills and procedures. We also value, but do not require, experience with the Linux or Unix environment, and scripting languages.

    If you have these skills, if you are interested in exploring and bringing to the public collections of millions of books and subjects, if you seek opportunities to expand and grow your knowledge, understanding, and practice in digital libraries, we encourage you to apply.

    To apply, please submit a cover letter and resume to the attention of:
    Elizabeth Martin
    at martinev@pobox.upenn.edu

    Please write “Digital Library Internship” in the subject line.

    The University of Pennsylvania values diversity and is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.
