SUMMER POSITION - DIGITAL MANUSCRIPTS PROGRAM, NATIONAL LIBRARY OF
MEDICINE

APPLICATION DEADLINE  is April 7, 2000

The Digital Manuscripts Program of the National Library of Medicine in
Bethesda is seeking a graduate student to work this summer as a Technical
Information Specialist, at the GS-7 pay scale ($13.83 per hour).  The
Digital Manuscripts Program makes the archival collections of prominent
biomedical scientists available on the Web.  This process includes, in
part, processing the collections of personal papers (from accessioning
through finding aid creation), selecting documents for digitization,
assigning metadata to the digitized documents, scanning documents, seeking
permissions for the use of documents on the Web site, and researching and
writing historical information for the Web site.  The employee would join
a team of archivists and historians to work on a variety of projects that
may include assisting with the collection processing, seeking permissions
from document creators, setting up a new name authority control system, or
assisting with design modifications to the Web site.  There are a number
of opportunities that could be pursued, depending on the employee's
interest.

To view the Web site being created by the Digital Manuscripts Program, go
to www.profiles.nlm.nih.gov.   Information about the National Library of
Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health, can be found at
www.nlm.nih.gov.

Employment will be from May through September (or shorter) and would be
secured through the National Institutes of Health Summer Employment
Program for Non-Scientific Positions.  The online application and
information about the program can be found on the Web at
summerjobs.nih.gov.   Interested applicants should call Sue Anderson at
301-402-3478 before submitting the online application.

Please feel free to call or email with any questions as well.  Again the
application deadline is April 7, 2000.
