The Vacancy
What we are looking for -
We’re looking for someone with a keen eye for detail, excellent communication skills, and an ability to plan and prioritise across different strands of work to join our small rights and information management team. You’ll help the Library manage copyright information, identify and validate rights statements, and seek copyright permissions. You’ll also help the Library to research and validate the material ownership status of collection items. You’ll work across collection areas and with different content formats and you’ll operate closely with key contacts in the curatorial, digitisation, metadata, and information management teams. You’ll also communicate and engage with external parties and stakeholders. With knowledge of copyright or cultural collection ownership matters, you will be adept at working with a high degree of accuracy and comfortable shifting between simultaneous projects and activities.
What we can offer you -
If you are successful, you will be working for one of Scotland’s premier cultural institutions, a library that holds the nation’s memory in its vast collections. You’ll have the opportunity to work flexibly, where the service allows, and we’ll provide you with training and development opportunities. We have generous annual leave and offer a pension scheme. And of course, you’ll join a team of great colleagues.
