[Libs-Or] OCOM Cataloging Internship

[Veronica Vichit-Vadakan - OCOM]

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



This is an ideal opportunity for Library and Information Studies students
with an interest in Cataloging. Interns will work closely with the Systems
Librarian to learn practical skills in cataloging from the perspective of a
small specialized medical library.



Depending on the library's need and the student's interests, the Cataloging
Intern may perform some of the following tasks:





   * Creating original catalog records in MARC;



   * Editing and exporting copy catalog records from OCLC Connexion;



   * Assessing (and updating) our current classification assignments;



   * Reviewing and editing catalog records in Millennium;



   * Creating on-line tutorials for students and staff.





*--Qualifications--*



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. Other qualifications we're looking for include:



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



    * Familiarity with MARC and/or experience with Innovative cataloging
software is desirable, but not essential.



    * Higher education, non-profit, and/or health care related experience
is desirable.



    * Familiarity with Traditional Chinese Medicine preferred, but not
required.







*--Hours and Stipend--*





This is an unpaid internship, but we do offer a $250 stipend to be awarded
upon successful completion. This position will run for 8-14 weeks through
the Spring term. We request a minimum commitment of 80 hours over the
course of the internship (additional hours are available if desired).


This internship is also available for course credit with the permission of
your school.





*--Applying for this Position--*



Qualified applicants should email a cover letter and resume to Veronica
Vichit-Vadakan, OCOM Systems Librarian, at *vvv at ocom.edu.* The cover letter
should specifically indicate relevant experience and skills.



Position will remain open until filled.
