The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine is now accepting applications for a

and joined a local health libraries consortium. We are just rolling out the
new system so this is a great opportunity to learn a lot about the inner
workings of library catalogs, web sites and more.  Depending on the
library's need and the student's interest, the Cataloging Intern will assist
the Systems Librarian at OCOM with some of the following tasks:

   -  Cleaning up MARC records in Millennium;


   - Creating original catalog records in OCLC Connexion;
   - Conforming fields to authority records;
   - Assisting with inventorying current collection;
   - Instructing students and staff on using the new catalog;
   - Trouble-shooting cataloging software issues.

Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is
required. Current student or recent graduate of an ALA-accredited library
school is preferred.

   - Cataloging experience, whether professional or academic, is preferred;
   interest in cataloging is essential.

   software is desirable, but not essential.

This is an unpaid internship, but we do offer a $250 stipend to be awarded
upon successful completion. This position will begin in October 2010 and
