Job Summary

The Bowdoin College Library seeks an engaged, versatile, and collaborative early-career cataloger for the position of Cataloging and Metadata Librarian. As one of two full-time catalogers in an active collections management department, the Cataloging and Metadata Librarian creates and enhances catalog records for materials in a broad range of formats, including books, audiovisual materials, serials, digital assets, and maps, across a variety of languages.

Working in the OCLC and Alma environments, the ideal candidate will be attentive to details and descriptive standards, with a focus on discoverability, clarity, and consistency in catalog records, to make collections accessible to the broadest audience possible. A motivated candidate will find opportunities to acquire new skills and approach cataloging tasks of increasing complexity, potentially including special-collections work, through on-the-job training and professional development.

As the intellectual heart of the Bowdoin campus, and serving as a major research library in the state of Maine, the Bowdoin College Library is valued for its rich and extensive collections, outstanding staff, and vibrant spaces. Bowdoin College Library develops its collections cooperatively and strategically with the libraries of Colby and Bates Colleges, with which it shares a combined catalog, providing significant opportunities for collaboration on cataloging standards, best practices, and other initiatives.

The Cataloging and Metadata Librarian performs a variety of complex database maintenance work, some of it in concert with colleagues at Colby and Bates, to ensure the integrity and fullness of catalog data. The incumbent also serves as an expert and advisor on evolving cataloging standards and practices, including emerging trends in critical cataloging.

We will begin reviewing applications on July 13th and continue until the position is filled.
