For any successful candidates from outside the European Economic Area the start date may be later than October 1997 because of the need to apply for work permit. RESPONSIBILITIES: Report to the Technical Services Manager and work closely with the Head of Cataloguing and other relevant staff.

Reclass all Bliss books and other materials for which there is no LC classification number in the OCLC records. Assign LC subject headings as required. Identify and resolve problems arising from earlier phases of the project. Assist with cleanup and maintenance of the bibliographic database following the library's established procedures. PROJECT OUTLINE: The catalogue of the University library consists mainly of full MARC records downloaded from OCLC in USMARC format. Most books are classified by LC, although NLM and a local scheme are also used in some branches. The catalogue also contains brief (non-OCLC) bibliographic records created by various retrospective conversion projects. The Coleg Normal catalogue consists of about 56,000 short, non-MARC records held on a Dynix system and classified by modified Bliss and Dewey systems. A considerable amount of work has already been carried out to upgrade these records using OCLC's FULLMARC and TAPECON services and to assign LC call numbers if they are available. During the 1997 summer vacation student assistants are checking the upgraded records and re-labeling books with their new call numbers. This will leave approximately 7,000 records in the old Bliss sequence which could not find a match on the OCLC database. In addition, about 7,500 OCLC records found are in need of LC classification and subject headings. There are also some 3,000 records in the Dewey sequence which should be upgraded if time permits.

Practical knowledge of AACR2R, LC classification, LC subject headings, and authority control. Direct experience with a bibliographic utility (preferably OCLC) and an integrated library system (preferably INNOPAC).
