                   *** Projected Opening ****
                   COMPUTER SERVICES LIBRARIAN
 
 
The University of Wisconsin Law Library, in Madison, anticipates an
opening for a Computer Services Librarian. We will conduct a full
national search during the coming academic year with a start date
of July 1, 1994 in mind. We would be delighted to talk with
prospective candidates at the AALL this summer, in Boston.
 
This position will require an MLS and substantial knowledge of and
aptitude for computer technology, particularly microcomputers and
networking. Additionally, we will prefer someone with a JD and
substantial law library and supervisory experience.
 
Responsibilities will include managing the Law Library's extensive
and growing computer services, including overall supervision of
several computer labs, overseeing expansion of a Novell LAN (which
extends throughout the Law School and links to a campus network),
providing instruction and computer assistance to faculty, staff and
students, and representing the Library's computer technology
interests at the campus level and beyond.
 
This position will supervise a non-professional full-time technical
assistant and student support staff and work under the Assistant
Director for Information Services and closely with the Director,
Automation Librarian and other librarians.
 
The University of Wisconsin Law Library is firmly committed to
maintaining a leadership role in its use of newer technologies. To
further this commitment we have added several staff members with
technological expertise and inaugurated an array of innovative
services and programs within the past several years, including
extending network access to study carrels, beginning a computer
laptop check-out program for law students, and adding CD-ROM
databases to the network. A Law Library building addition to be
completed over the next several years will provide additional
opportunities for expanding our use of technology.
 
We view the Computer Services Librarian as a key position for the
continuing development of the Law Library and believe this is a
terrific opportunity for the right individual.
 
Salary and benefits will be competitive.
 
If you are interested and would like to discuss this position while
at the AALL, send me an e-mail or contact me in Boston (by leaving
a message on the board by the Convention Registration Desk).
