Repository Collection Metadata Coordinator
Five Colleges, Incorporated has an opening for a Repository Collection Metadata Coordinator to develop and then implement a plan for maintaining complete and accurate metadata for materials in the Five College Library Repository Collection. The Repository Collection is housed at two off-campus
facilities and includes about 810,000 print items previously held by Five College libraries (Amherst,

affiliates.
This is a 10 hour/week non-exempt, casual, non-benefited position with Five Colleges, Incorporated. The primary work location for this role is in N. Hatfield, Massachusetts, though some hours may be

Working closely with librarians across the Five College Consortium, the Metadata Coordinator updates
and, as needed, remediates records to ensure those materials are discoverable and accurately described to users within and beyond the Five College community.
You could be a great fit for this position if you:
• Are not mystified by metadata
• Find satisfaction in following standards and ensuring consistency
• Know how to catalog serials and the best ways to do so
• Are familiar with integrated library systems – for library services, cataloging, and discovery –
even better if you’re familiar with FOLIO
• Make good decisions and act independently
• Have a knack for building consensus and supporting collaborative goals
