Reporting to the Digital Library Services Department Head,
we are seeking an experienced applications developer to develop front end
applications to manage campus research data and library collections in our
digital library. Solutions will provide access, discovery, security, and
preservation of unique library collections and campus research data. These

viewers of rare manuscripts and high resolution images, and GIS mapping and
search utilities integrated into front end web applications. Because this is

challenges faster. Faculty, researchers, students, and staff will benefit
directly from this partnership through solutions created for preserving data,
building rich discovery systems, managing descriptive information, and sharing
information across multiple groups and institutions required by research
projects and data management services mandated by grant funding agencies such
