also work with the University Library's general collections technical 
services staff and with staff of the Carolina Digital Library and Archives 
to help develop, articulate, and maintain shared policies and metadata 
standards. The incumbent is expected to help ensure that the Wilson Library

involved in professional discussions on technical services issues; and to 
be active in professional organizations concerned with cataloging and 
special collections issues.
