We are seeking to recruit a project cataloguer, for 6 months FTE, to catalogue a donation of approximately 6000 books from the Cañada Blanch Centre Library. The focus of the collection is the history and politics of Spain in the early and mid-Twentieth Century and particularly the Spanish Civil War. It is estimated to be around 70% in Spanish, with the rest in English, French and Catalan. The role is based in the Library’s Metadata team and involves cataloguing physical materials so work will be required to take place in LSE Library.
You will be responsible for cataloguing the collection by downloading or creating records, which meet AACR2, RDA and MARC21 standards, on the Library Management system, Alma.
You will have experience of cataloguing or describing resources, attention to detail, and the ability to work to a high standard of accuracy. Spanish language skills are welcome, but are not essential to the role. Full-time or part-time hours will be considered.
