Job Description:

Job Description Do you pride yourself on your attention to details, dexterity, and organizational skills? Are you interested in interacting with KU Libraries' audiovisual materials? If so, why not consider applying for a position with Conservation Services. We are looking to fill a position that will assist the library with several film, video, and audio collections including a newly acquired videotape collection from a local television station. This position will primarily create meaningful descriptions of otherwise unknown content. At the same time, this position is intended to allow the student to substantially increase their level of responsibility over time. We employ student workers who are good at following complex directions, able to adapt to changing workflows, and appreciate repetitive tasks. If you don't mind some heavy lifting and getting a bit dirty, enjoy a job where you are required to make discoveries, and have a positive, can-do attitude, please apply! Required Qualifications

• Must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credit hours at KU.
• Demonstrated prior work experience with performing detailed and repetitive work with a high degree of accuracy as evidenced on application materials. Preferred Qualifications
  • Work-study, library or archive experience.
  • Experience creating and editing Word and Excel documents.
  • Prior experience handling film and legacy audio and video formats is fine but not necessary.
