Job First Posted: 7/18/2001

Application Closing Date: Until Filled, Review Begins: 8/1/2001
The Digital Publishing Group (DPG) has the primary responsibility for
building the Berkeley Library's digital collections, primarily through the
digitization of the Library's analog collection, but increasingly by
working with materials "born digital." The DPG supports digital library
activities by providing managerial and technical analysis for projects
that add content to our digital library. Performing this responsibility
requires a number of technical skills: a) understanding library metadata,
including catalog records, archival collection descriptions and metadata
embedded inside digital objects (i.e., technical, administrative,
preservation, descriptive and structural metadata); b) developing
processes to encode metadata and digital content using SGML, XML DTDs,
XML schemas, etc; c) developing local or evaluating commercial software
solutions to create digital materials to these metadata and encoding
specifications; and d) implementing and maintaining digital materials in
library public and staff access systems.
In addition to possessing these technical skills, the Manager is directly
responsible for managing all digital publishing projects, including
working with subject specialists in designing workflows, schedules,
budgets and evaluations for these projects. The Manager is also an
integral participant in the Library's pursuit of extramural funding for
relevant research and demonstration projects, and will work with a number
of Library, campus, and UC organizations engaged in related projects and
activities.
Responsibilities: The successful candidate for this position will
supervise three programmer/analysts and three electronic publishing
assistants who are engaged in developing and implementing SGML/XML-based
metadata standards; selecting appropriate SGML/XML DTD's and schemas for
project use; designing, testing, and refining SGML/XML DTD's and schemas
when appropriate; providing related data analysis; designing and
implementing support software, including software for converting legacy
data to SGML/XML-encoded formats; and training and advising project
managers and staff.
In addition, he or she will provide leadership in developing and managing
publishing projects that convert materials to digital formats; create new
"born digital" materials; assist in identifying and obtaining extramural
support for such projects; and organize and perform research on new
information technologies and technology standards.
Required Qualifications: Working knowledge of SGML/XML, including DTD's
and schemas, XSL and XSLT. Demonstrated experience as a project manager
and supervisor, including project design, budgeting, workflow and
scheduling. Experience working with some or all of the following tools
and environments: HTML, scripting languages (e.g., Perl, JavaScript),
Java, TEI-Lite, database management systems (relational and object
oriented), Unix and Windows 95/98/NT/2000. Excellent oral and written
communication skills; ability to work with various levels of library
staff; manage multiple projects/deadlines
Preferred Qualifications: Experience with library metadata systems,
archival description standards and digital library trends and
technologies; experience in delivering and/or providing access to
non-English language documents and numeric data sets in digital formats
