MWOBS Library Cataloger (Part-Time, Temporary/100-120 Hrs)
MWOBS seeks an experienced cataloger to catalog books and related materials for its library to prevailing professional library standards. MWOBS’ library currently has a backlog of books, monographs, periodicals, and related materials to be entered into its catalog, and wishes to eliminate this backlog. Most of these books relate to White Mountains history, to meteorology, or to the Polar regions. Many of these books and other materials are older and/or obscure and may provide cataloging challenges. It is estimated that there are more than 500 items to be cataloged.
Due to the limited nature of the backlog, this is a temporary, short-term position, ending when the backlog is addressed, estimated to be 100-120 hours. The hourly pay rate for this position is $20/hour.
