Sorry to be vague with the job title and the description, but we are looking for someone with excellent OCLC search skills (librarian-level) who is also fluent in EndNote to help compile the "recently-published works" section of a major academic publication. (Again, sorry to be vague; consider this an unofficial, but legitimate, job posting.) You would need to live in the DC area to take this position, which entails performing a series of searches in OCLC FirstSearch and then massaging the results into an acceptable format for publication. These searches are performed about four times a year. Basic knowledge of European languages (German, French, Italian, Polish) would be a big plus. You don't have to be fluent, just as long as you understand the difference between an umlaut and an accent grave. Publications experience also a plus. Please contact me at rcoleman@ushmm.org about this position. I'm not the person making the decision, but I can give you more info about it before forwarding on your resume.

This is just an FYI, because the Museum is a really terrific place to work and I figures some MeFites might be qualified/interested in these positions. I am NOT on the hiring committee for either of these positions and can only answer general questions about the Museum, not about these particular postings. See listings on USAJobs for all details.
