In the way of background information, this year, our K-12 libraries have been combined with our instructional technology department.  We are also in the process of converting to a new K-12 library software system.  The software provider has not yet been finalized.  However, we have determined we will have a centralized system for the district with one central server.  The person placed in this open position would work in our central Library Services Dept. where we catalog and process books for all 22 elementary schools (and we may be adding some middle schools through a pilot project).  This person will also be the Instructional Technology Support person for all school district libraries, assisting them with both hardware and software issues.  Providing on-site guidance with Library 2.0 implementation will also be part of this job.
