Cataloguer
RPC Library Service – The
Angus
Full-time (1.5 years fixed
contract)
£24,000 per annum
Regent’s Park College (RPC), a Permanent Private Hall of the
University of Oxford, has a full-time, grant- funded position for a Cataloguer.
RPC has secured funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Baptist
Union’s Newington Court Fund to deliver an exciting project which will enable
The Angus Library and Archive (The Angus) to realise its full potential as a
treasure trove of primary sources.
We are therefore looking to recruit an experienced, highly
knowledgeable and motivated person with formal experience in cataloguing
procedures and practices to fill this important and interesting post. This
position will focus on cataloguing the backlog of works in The Angus in
collaboration with the Antiquarian Cataloguer, using Aleph, AACR2, DCRM(B) and an
awareness of RDA cataloguing rules. The role requires knowledge of
cataloguing standards and experience in the use of external bibliographic
databases (RLIN, OCLC, CURL, LOCIS). Experience and knowledge of cataloguing
procedures is essential as well as a keen eye for detail and excellent IT
literacy. Knowledge of a Classical or at least one modern European language
would be desirable but not essential.

position or to request an information pack please contact the Project

Closing date is 5pm Friday 20th September 2013. Interviews will be held on Thursday 26th September.
