VSA position: Library Systems Adviser, Cambodia
Please excuse cross-posting Assist the National Library of Cambodia (NLC) with the use of its collections through offering and promoting a greater range of services. The NLC originally established in 1924 by the French colonial administration, and re-opened in 1980 after the Khmer Rouge genocide, is currently struggling to improve its services with a small number of professionally qualified staff and scarce resources. The Library is looking for an experienced Library Adviser to mentor and support its staff to use a newly installed electronic library system, to publish a National Bibliography of Cambodia and to improve the content of its website. This is a two-year assignment. The VSA website has recently undergone a revamp and assignment descriptions can now be downloaded straight from their website. http://www.vsa.org.nz/volunteer/vacancies/index.html I was a volunteer at the National Library of Cambodia in 2006 and am in regular contact with the current volunteer. If anyone is interested in more information about living in Phnom Penh or about the Library itself, please feel free to contact me.
