Vacancy for Digital Collections Management Co-Ordinator at British Library

14 September 2022

£29,000 per annum

Full-Time

The British Library's Digital Collection is a unique treasure trove, including everything from digitised manuscripts and books to born digital personal archives, eBooks and eJournal articles, electoral registers, a world of Sound, the UK Web Archive, and more. It numbers many millions of individual digital objects and millions more digital files, amounting to well over a petabyte of data. All of these items require efficient management if they are to persist over time and remain reliably available into the future. This post represents a rare opportunity to join the newly developed Digital Collections Management team and help develop a new, holistic approach to managing the Library's Digital Collection. The successful candidate will support the Head of Digital Collections Management by coordinating implementation of the digital element of the Collection Management Strategy, working with curatorial colleagues from across the Library to ensure that our approach includes all collections, at all stages of the lifecycle. Working with colleagues from Digital Preservation and Curation, the post holder will also take responsibility for managing local services such as the Digital Media Capture Unit to ensure handheld digital acquisitions are appropriately processed and can be preserved.

This is an exciting role with excellent potential for growth. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a keen interest in and knowledge of the Library's Digital Collections, with at least years of previous experience in a previous managerial capacity as well as operational experience with digital library systems or technologies. Possessing an undergraduate degree in Library, Archives, or Information Science, or a related discipline, candidates should be able to demonstrate sound understanding of concepts relating to digital lifecycle management, including issues and concepts relating to long term digital preservation and curation, and an aptitude for policy development. Excellent people skills are a must, alongside a proven ability to work independently and a keen eye for detail. With strong writing, desktop computing and information management skills, the ideal candidate will be a confident self-starter, able to work and communicate with colleagues from a range of different disciplines and backgrounds.

The role is primarily based in Boston Spa, Yorkshire, though in line with Library policy there is flexibility to work part of the week from home. There will be an opportunity for occasional travel to London, and for the right candidate, the possibility of travel abroad to engage with international digital collection management initiatives. #J-18808-Ljbffr
