POSITION TITLE:  IMAGE LIBRARIAN


DEPARTMENT:  IMAGERY MANAGEMENT OPERATION


RESPONSIBILITIES:  The Image Librarian is responsible for performing

detailed catalog descriptions of photographic materials supporting the

Specific duties include cataloging new material into the collection by

point of contact for all reference questions concerning collection holdings.


The primary tool utilized in cataloging and record retrieval tasks is a
computer database management system incorporating a textual thesaurus for
vocabulary control.  Operation of this system must be carried out in a
professional manner, following standards and guidelines as provided in a
formal accredited Library Science curriculum.


EXPERIENCE:  Two years experience cataloging or indexing and abstracting in
a scientific or technical environment preferred.  Familiarity with
