Subject: [NGC4LIB] Position: LibraryThing for Libraries
[PARDON THE CROSS-POSTING]
LibraryThing is looking for someone to take over the non-coding parts of
LibraryThing for Libraries (http://www.librarything.com/forlibraries),
our innovative plan to bring Library 2.0 gold to OPAC 1.0 slag.
The position is part simple tech and part "sales." If you come from tech
you have to prove you're personable. If you come from sales you have to
prove you're very sorry about it.
### Qualities:
*Smart. We value brains over experience.
*Personable. We're a bunch of trogledytes. Outshine us.
*Hard-working. LibraryThing is a startup, so hard work is expected.You
have to want that. This is the job you think about in the shower.
*Organized. We have a few hundred libraries interested in LibraryThing
for Libraries already. You've got to be able to keep them straight and
not get behind on emails.
*Techy. This isn't an engineer position, but you need to be comfortable
with this world. HTML and CSS strongly preferred.
Experience with one or more OPAC/ILS systems preferred.
*Fast learner. Don't know anything about XML? Spend today with this
book.
*Library-ish. We're 3-4 library people now (with 2 MLSs). Even us out.
### Location:
Portland, ME or Boston, MA preferred, but we'll entertain all
possibilites. Relocation not necessary, but might help.
### Money:
Salary, commissions, excellent plated health insurance. LibraryThing for
Libraries is growing very rapidly. It's got the potential to change the
world. You could be at the center of that. And you get paid?
