[Eril-l] Job Posting: Database and Intellectual Property Manager, University of Virginia Press

This is not a library position, but it's quite likely that people with information science / library science degrees and experience would be good candidates. Experience with metadata and ability to learn a fairly complex metadata schema (ONIX for publishers) will be a plus in any case.
