Duties will primarily include learning our "ILS" called ALMA, record clean-up, inventorying, shifting and weeding library materials and transferring books to other libraries.  Students will also be responsible for any other library duties or projects that might arise. Here are the various position titles within this posting I am looking to fill.

1) East Asian inventory assistant - Very detailed job; Inventorying, updating records, record maintenance, shifting, minimal shelving & other related East Asian inventory tasks. No language skills are required as this job will focus on the records. 

2) Book Beautician - Relabeling books, create signage, make rangefinders and other related projects. Prefer someone who is comfortable free-handing signage and designs. 

3) Inventory Guru - A Detective job (Detailed); Searching for library materials and entering data into a spreadsheet.

Qualified candidates must be detailed oriented and have an eye for mistakes. Must have a great work ethic and be able to work independently. Candidates should be engaged in their duties, be able to provide feedback to their supervisor and assist in updating ongoing procedures.
