The Cleveland Museum of Art has an opening in its Information Technology department for a Systems Librarian.  The Systems Librarian administers and maintains the museum’s library automation systems and archival collection management systems (currently including OCLC; ExLibris ALEPH, MetaLib, and SFX; and a variety of open-source and custom LAMP applications), and maintains the library/archives website and local electronic resource repositories. He/She tracks technology advances and standards in library and information science, suggests appropriate solutions to improve the automated functionality of the library/archives, and leads implementation efforts.
