Kings County, Issaquah, Washington
ENTRY-LEVEL CATALOGERS (5)
KCLS is forming a pool of entry-level librarians to fill several 12 month cataloging contracts. To augment our highly innovative "cluster" system of cost-cutting, the Kings County Library System, headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, is creating a technical services "cluster" at the Maquiladora Export Processing Zone of Ciudad Juares, Mexico.
AMERICAN LIBRARIANS, YOU CAN LEGALLY WORK IN MEXICO under North American Free Trade Agreement. Librarians have been placed on a list of skilled professionals eligible for special work permits in any NAFTA country under local labor standards. For more information, see: http://www.sice.oas.org/Trade/nafta/chap-162.asp and Chapter 16 of NAFTA.
The KCLS Mexico cluster will provide high quality cataloging services to KCLS libraries in Washington State. New library materials of all formats (books, DVD's, etc,) are shipped to Mexico for cataloging and processing at a fraction of the cost possible under US labor and safety standards. Completed materials are then sent to Washington State libraries in shelf-ready condition.
Successful candidates will provide high quality cataloging services in a rigorous and intensive cataloging environment, focused on high quality and the bottom line. Successful candidates will receive expert guidance from current KCLS employees who will be relocated to the Mexico cluster at the discretion of their supervisors.
Requirements:
Ability to produce flawless MARC records. MLS degree is required to acquire Mexican work permit. No knowledge of Spanish is required.
Applicants must hold a valid US passport, to be surrendered to KCLS for the duration of the employment contract.
A NAFTA work permit will be issued upon entering Mexico by producing 1) a passport, 2) proof of graduation from an MLS program, 3) a small administrative fee, and 4) proof of an employment offer.
Remuneration:
Working for KCLS is more than a job, it's a lifestyle! We offer a base salary of Mexican
minimum wage ($4.45/day) plus a bonus of $0.05 for each perfect MARC record produced. All records will be reviewed by an expert cataloger, and no bonus will be paid for imperfect records. KCLS provides attractive benefits such as an on-site dormitory (mandatory at a price of $4/day), low-cost meals (optional, $3/day) and 24/7 armed security/productivity enforcement officers. We offer an 11 hour workday (the Mexican average), and one weekend or sick day every two weeks. Additionally, we provide mandatory armed security escorts to our employees on all off-campus excursions.
Five candidates will be selected from the pool, and successful candidates will have the exciting opportunity to reapply for their positions on an annual basis.
To request an application or inquire about the innovative "cluster" cost-cutting initiatives at KCLS, contact Director Bill Littlcek at our Issaquah headquarters at (425)369-3232. He's in listening mode, and wants to hear from you today!
Current KCLS employees with five years of experience are encouraged to apply. This advertisement was placed on April 1, 2007. All applications must be received by April 31st, 2007.
