The University of Northern British Columbia, in conjunction with the Geoffrey R Weller Library, invites application for a full-time continuing Librarian position.

 

Reporting to the University Librarian and working collaboratively with Technical Services and Archives, the Metadata Librarian joins a small team of dedicated librarians in enhancing research and learning at UNBC.  This position will bring expertise in library classification and description and will take the lead in implementing recent advances in metadata and cataloguing such as RDA, FRBR-LRM, BIBFRAME and linked data.  The Metadata Librarian provides expertise in the development, implementation and assessment of metadata policies and procedures while monitoring external developments and changing needs in these areas.  This position will holistically consider metadata across UNBC’s collections, including MARC and non-MARC metadata.  All librarians provide reference and instruction and liaise with academic programs. Librarians at UNBC contribute to the body of research in their field and are encouraged to actively participate in appropriate associations, user groups and standard bodies.
