Do you have excellent accuracy and attention to detail? Are you confident working with resources in a range of formats? Are you an innovative team player, able to make a positive contribution to metadata management in this large HE library?

The Metadata Team catalogues a wide range of material for the Library including print monographs, e-resources, continuing resources, research outputs and Special Collections material. The team are involved in projects relating to internal and external initiatives ranging from cooperative cataloguing to developments in library linked data. This role offers the opportunity for involvement in all aspects of the team’s work, with day to day responsibility for the cataloguing and classification of material, checking metadata quality, updating and correcting entries, ensuring accuracy across a range of databases, and responding to enquiries.

You’ll have experience of MARC21, RDA and AACR2, and an understanding of classification principles.  You’ll need strong interpersonal skills to be able to work effectively with the wider team, other Library colleagues and external bodies.
