On April 30, there will be a major update to the RDA Toolkit BETA site that will include a stabilized version of the English test as well as added and improved functionality to the BETA site. A detailed announcement about this release is coming. However, join us on May 10 for a free 90-minute webinar that will review the impact of the April 30 update. You'll learn about the new entities and concepts that have emerged from the IFLA Library Reference Model and the restructuring of the RDA standard. You'll also be provided with a demo of the new BETA site's functionality and features. If you're unable to attend, register for the event and a link to the recording will be sent via email the next business day.

An opportunity exists in the Documentary Heritage team for a qualified and experienced Cataloguing Librarian, to manage the flow of published Documentary Heritage material from acquisition to shelf-readiness, including retrospective cataloguing. Your knowledge and experience will be an asset that less experienced cataloguers in the team will draw upon for guidance and practical help.
To be successful in this role you will have several years' worth of solid experience in original and copy cataloguing and have a good working knowledge of the resources a metadata specialist uses on a day-to-day basis. A sound foundation in customer service will be an advantage. The contributions from the Documentary Heritage team are at the heart of many of the Museum's aspirations as expressed in Future Museum and help ensure our clients receive the services they expect from us—onsite, offsite and online.
Fixed term to June 2020, full-time (40 hours pw)
Closing date: Sunday, 21 April 2019 at 5.00pm
