June 23, 1997 -- Announcement of Position
University of Wisconsin -- Madison
Division of Information Technology (DoIT)
Senior Programmer/Analyst for Library Management Systems (LMS)
The Library & Information Retrieval Applications group at DoIT is seeking
an energetic programmer/analyst having experience with one or more Library
Management Systems to join our library automation team. This position will
initially work closely with UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee libraries on
enhancement and support of our "classic" NOTIS LMS and its
locally-developed subsystems for data feeds and reporting. This position
will concurrently participate in the RFP process underway to select a
replacement LMS, and will then shift focus to the conversion,
implementation, enhancement, and support of the next generation, new
technology LMS for UW-Madison.
The LMS programmer/analyst will work under the leadership of our current
"NOTIS Tech-1" LMS project manager and will interact with seven other DoIT
team members who support the UW-Madison Electronic Library. This rich and
expanding system includes our locally-developed online catalog and Z39.50
gateway and many other client/server electronic resources, some supporting
university libraries throughout the country. The Electronic Library
operates on a group of UNIX servers supported by the DoIT team (see
http://www.library.wisc.edu/). This is an exciting opportunity to
contribute to the entire cycle of selection, conversion, and implementation
of a state-of-the-art LMS for a major institution.
A strong candidate for this position will have several years of "systems"
experience with one or more Library Management Systems. NOTIS experience
is not required but would be helpful; knowledge of library terminology,
functions, and MARC data are essential. Technical experience in
information systems development and support is also required.
Strong communications and teamwork skills and problem solving abilities
will complement a candidate's background in library automation and
information systems. Optional but desirable technical skills include
operating systems MVS or UNIX, languages such as C, Perl, SAS, or PL/1, and
relational database management systems.
Starting salary will range from $33,383 to $45,535 per year, based on
qualifications. To request application materials (refer to JAC #71535),
please contact Marie Yanke, DoIT Human Resources, (608) 263-1790, 1210 West
Dayton St., Madison, WI 53706; email to marie.yanke@doit.wisc.edu.
Application materials will be accepted until the position is filled, with
the first review taking place on or about July 14, 1997.
The University of Wisconsin is an equal opportunity employer, and
specifically invites and encourages applications from women and minorities.
