Content Coordinator – National Network for Equitable Library Service
BC Libraries Cooperative
Metro Vancouver

The [BC Libraries Cooperative](https://libraries.coop) is a
non-profit, member-driven cooperative providing several high availability
services to members across Canada. The Co-op uses primarily open source tools
and contemporary development methodologies and hosting practices.

As service partner to the [National Network for Equitable Library
Service](https://nnels.ca) (NNELS), the Co-op is hiring a full-time (35
hours/week) Content Coordinator. As a vital member of a lean team, the Content
Coordinator is responsible for the maintenance and expansion of the NNELS
collection of books in accessible digital formats. Collections are purchased,
produced, and exchanged, and items are budgeted for and tracked. This position
reports to the NNELS Project Coordinator.

This is a virtual office opportunity; residency in the Greater Vancouver
(British Columbia) area is preferred.

Ideal start date: October 3, 2016

**The position requires that candidates be:**

  * Detail-oriented and comfortable using spreadsheets;
  * Self-directed and good at managing time and multiple tasks;
  * Experienced with building and maintaining complex professional relationships with a variety of other organizations;
  * Comfortable communicating in a digital environment and using social media;
  * Interested in the technical and legal aspects of producing and obtaining content in accessible formats;
  * Committed to improving the accessibility of public library collections and services across Canada;
  * Able to travel for conferences and meetings.
**Experience with the following will be considered an asset:**

  * Bilingual (English and French);
  * Direct writing and editing for the web and social media (ideally using the Canadian Press Stylebook or similar), including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, as well as monitoring social media channels through a dashboard such as Hootsuite.
  * Experience with producing books in accessible formats, including e-text and DAISY production and standards.
**Competencies and qualifications:**

  * Degree in library science or library technician diploma; an equivalent combination of education and/or experience will be considered;
  * Ability to manage stress (with a sense of humour);
  * Ability to work collaboratively and positively with individuals and groups in a distributed environment (team members do not all work in one location).
**What we offer:**

  * While the Co-op is headquartered in downtown Vancouver, this is primarily a virtual office opportunity for the right candidate. Most of the Co-op staff work remotely, using the Vancouver office for regular or occasional face-to-face meet-ups.
  * The opportunity to be part of an energetic, supportive, and dynamic team in a growing community enterprise.
  * Exciting opportunities to have a positive effect on library services and the lives of readers across the country.
  * This position is envisioned as a fixed-term service contract with the option for renewal and/or limited term employment status (budget dependent).
**How to apply**

Qualified applicants are invited to submit a cover letter and resume in **PDF
format** to office[at]bc.libraries.coop no later than **1600 Pacific Time,
September 9, 2016**.

  
Candidates must clearly indicate how they meet the position requirements.

We thank all applicants in advance, however only shortlisted candidates will
