Job Description: The enkiLibrary is a shared open source eBook Network that
allows California libraries to own and store purchased and free digital
content, to share access to more content than any individual library can
purchase on its own, to add features and functionality lacking in current
third-party vendor models (e.g., renewing, suspending holds, donating,
circulation data transferred to ILS, etc.), and to share access to unique
local digitized content with other libraries within the Network. Califa and
Contra Costa County Library partnered to co-develop an open source eBook
Network, shared by, and accessible to multiple library systems in California.
The platform is based on the Douglas County (CO) Libraries model, which
utilizes the Adobe Content Server and the open source VuFindPlus, developed at
Villanova University. The Quipu Group, a software development company, is
developing the initial VuFindPlus interface.

  
Funding for this project is available through a Bay Area Library Information
Systems (BALIS) Innovation Grant, LSTA monies, and Califa. This position will
be part of the team making enkiLibrary happen through system administration
and support of the Adobe Content Server (ACS) and the VuFindPlus open source
software, including configuration, maintenance and customization of these two
servers.

  
Working Knowledge and Experience with:

Open source software for next generation library catalogs and discovery tools.

Database administration (MySQL, Oracle, Solr)

User-facing web standards/platforms (HTML/XHTML, cross-browser CSS,
Javascript, jQuery/AJAX, PHP, mobile web)

Search platforms (Apache Solr)

Library software applications and protocols (NCIP, SIP, APIs, user
authentication, integrated library systems)

Web server software

  
Location: can be remote, though the ability to travel to meetings several
times a year in San Mateo, CA is a plus. We can use Skype
so being remote wouldn't disqualify a candidate.

  
Hours/duration of contract: approx 20 hours/week. Contract
will start for 6 months, with an option to renew.

  
Pay: Please send your rates.
