Programmer Analyst, Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts
Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, University of Pennsylvania Libraries
Philadelphia

With a growing collection of over 225,000 records
representing approximately 100,000 manuscripts, the Schoenberg Database of
Manuscripts (SDBM) is the largest freely available repository of data on
manuscript books produced before 1600. The SDBM, maintained by the University
of Pennsylvania Libraries, is being redeveloped into an online, open-access,
collaborative tool for researching the historic and current locations of the
world's pre-modern manuscripts. We are seeking to fill a two-year, full-time,
NEH-funded Programmer Analyst position to take over the technical development
of the New SDBM. Working directly with the project manager and the Schoenberg
Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) Digital Content Programmer, the PA
will continue the development of the New SDBM, a crowd-sourced application
providing web, mobile, and application interfaces for the discovery, access,
and entry of manuscript data, using the Ruby on Rails framework, jQuery,
Blacklight, and AngularJS. The PA will also work with Library Technology
Services (LTS) to integrate the New SDBM with the Library's Digital Library
Architecture (DLA).
