St Andrews, United Kingdom University of St Andrews Full time

University Collections in the University of St Andrews’ Libraries and Museums has a short-term opportunity to join a project working on our exceptional Rare Books collections. The posts are fixed-term, starting as soon as possible, and finishing on 31 July 2023.

The part-time roles would equate to 2 FTE and ideally be allocated to four postholders in a shift pattern. They will be working in the Rare Books team on a project to add accurate shelf location information to the permanent records in the Library Management System, Innovative Sierra. Duties will include both system work and handling of rare books within the stores in St Andrews.

The postholders must understand the importance of accurate shelf locations in the delivery of services to users of the Reading Room and in wider collections management. They must be able to show meticulous attention to detail, excellent time management and personal organization, and be able to deliver to meet challenging targets. The role involves keeping clear records and reporting on statistics. Previous experience working with Innovative Sierra or another Library Management System will be an advantage. Familiarity with handling skills for rare books, and knowledge of best practice, are highly desirable, but full training will be given.

Key attributes include excellent IT and communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a small and close-knit team. These roles may be physically demanding as the project will involve working in the stores at shelf, operating manual mobile racking, moving trolleys, and working above head-height.

Applications are particularly welcome from people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented in professional posts at the University.

These posts will be based onsite at the North Haugh in St Andrews.
