Earlier this year we saw the evolutionary job ad for a NextGen Librarian at Wayne State University. Now comes an equivalent version for school librarians.

Western NY Job Opening - Spec. Library Technologies

Genesee Valley BOCES, an educational service agency based in Le Roy, NY (30 minutes SW of Rochester and about 45 minutes east of Buffalo) is looking to hire a Specialist of Library Technologies to work within my department, the School Library System (http://sls.gvboces.org). While the posting is for a school certified librarian, the key word is librarian. We need someone to manage Web 2.0 tool development to support member librarian blogging, podcasting, a Moodle server, Drupal, and other services. The position will also involve training and working with librarians in management of an electronic resources service. Please feel free to send any questions to me at cgharris at gvboces.org or infomancy at gmail.com or by phone at 585-344-7942.
