Apologies for cross-posting - The University of Alberta Libraries seek a Digital Initiatives Applications Librarian to work as a member of the Digital Initiatives working group. The Libraries' digital initiatives are expanding and diversifying quickly, presenting a need for constant innovation and adaptation while maintaining existing systems.

Its digital initiatives include Peel's Prairie Portal (the flagship digitization project: http://peel.library.ualberta.ca <http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/> ), the institutional repository ERA (https://era.library.ualberta.ca <https://era.library.ualberta.ca/> ), collaborations with the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org <http://www.archive.org/> ) and other partners, and a rapidly developing digital preservation platform currently housing more than 15tb of content.
