MLA is compiling the position descriptions of professional, paraprofessional, and technical positions available in the contemporary health sciences library for a DocKit.

This MLA DocKit will include representative samples of these documents from all types of health sciences libraries and provide a systematic overview of traditional, nontraditional, and emerging library jobs and is intended to be used as a resource for library directors, managers, and staff

The editors (Jane Blumenthal, AHIP, Vani Murthy, Ivonne Martinez, and Laurie Silver) ask that you send, in electronic format, the functional titles and accompanying descriptions of positions in your library including professional, technical, paraprofessional, clerical, and significant student jobs. Please also send, if available, an organizational chart and any descriptive narratives you can provide on the evolution of positions at your institution. Send submissions or questions by August 21, 2005.
