The National Library of Luxembourg (bnl.lu) is looking for a metadata and statistics management Service Provider in the context of the Open Access transition for its digital library department “Consortium Luxembourg pour l’acquisition et la gestion de publications électroniques”: www.consortium.lu/about
Consortium Luxembourg is a department of the National Library of Luxembourg founded in 2006. It is the managing entity behind the digital libraries of the University of Luxembourg, public research centres such as LIST and LIH, ministries, public libraries and secondary schools. The National Library’s digital offer itself is available, including remote access, for free for the general public.
Consortium Luxembourg is uniquely placed in the national context to enable the transition to Open Access in cooperation with its consortial partners. The Service Provider’s task will be to define, adapt, test and deploy new workflows within the existing administrative framework to ensure a smooth integration of Open Access publishing into the consortial service offer.
The Service Provider’s person of contact will be the head of consortial services and its mission will notably entail to collaborate with the existing consortium team of four people (3.18 FTE), especially the current Metadata and statistics manager.
All tasks are remotely workable. Depending on the evolution of the pandemic and provision of service, the Service Provider’s mission may require to work from the National library’s brand-new building in Luxembourg city.
The Service Provider will need to demonstrate an ability to work in perfect coordination with our teams and be self-motivated while working in a multicultural and multilingual environment, most of the people the Service Provider will be working with in the course of its assignment being at least quadrilingual.
Context: In 2017 we started preparing for Open Access in the Consortium department. We added tools and processes to make the transition as data driven and automated as possible. Today, we are entering a new phase (2021-2023), as many consortial processes are affected by the new realities during the transition years. This affects financial, data, statistics and communication processes. The Service Provider will use existing data and statistics tools but also adapt these tools and take part in the implementation of new tools, pilot projects and integrations.
Note: The Service Provider is not required to do tasks such as server maintenance and updates or system configuration, those are handled by the IT Division of the BnL. You are required to be able to work closely with IT though.
