[Eril-l] JOB: Applications Analyst, TRLN

[Ben Heet]

Position Description
A newly-envisioned position, the TRLN Applications Analyst will work
closely with talented librarians, technologists, and developers across four
academic institutions to lead the development of a variety of applications
and systems that support the discovery and delivery of our shared
collections. The position will apply expert skills to help solve some of
the complex issues facing academic libraries today and to anticipate future
opportunities.

This position will play a major role in the support of both established and
emerging technology-focused projects. While the primary purpose of the
position is development, implementation and maintenance, the Applications

projects, working with TRLN staff and programmatic councils to set
priorities and to evaluate and communicate progress.

The focus of the work initially will be leading a major enhancement of our
shared discovery index and interface, Search TRLN, which is built on the
Oracle Endeca platform. The shared discovery index and interface will be
transitioning from Endeca to a new platform (such as Blacklight or VUFind),
and the Applications Analyst will take primary responsibility for
developing and implementing the new system.
