Riley Moffat, who informs us of this atlas, says "it is full color and
uses the soft pastels like the better European cartographic houses. The
wire binding makes it very easy to use. It is a very beautiful piece of
work and should keep anybody, even the newest tourist from getting lost."

ftp sites. The collection is global in scope and the content should be
designed to respond to the needs of the products being developed in the
unit. The map librarian will be responsible for creating a circulation
system that tracks resources for both long and short term check-out
periods. An on-line cataloging and organizational system using the
latest digital database and Web technologies is needed to facilitate
resource searching and browsing. Supervisory duties for the day-to-day
tasks of the resources team will be another responsibility. The size
and duties of the Resources team will be determined by the map
librarian in consultation with the other GeoModeling team leads.
Qualifications:
ALA-accredited MLS degree or (3-5) years experience working with
cartographic resources in a library environment required. Must be
service oriented, team oriented, and have the ability to lead the
development of the Resources team. The successful candidate will have
excellent interpersonal communication skills. Familiarity with OCLC

the special needs of map libraries required. Knowledge and experience
with the Windows computing environment and the Microsoft Office product
suite required. Knowledge and experience with using and creating
on-line Web and other resources required. Knowledge of relational
databases preferred. Knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
use in map libraries preferred. Knowledge of UNIX computing
environment preferred.
This description has been designed to indicate the general nature and
level of work performed by employees within this position. The actual
duties, responsibilities, and qualifications may vary based on
assignment or group. This is a temporary contract assignment for one
of the world's largest software development companies. Contract period
