Portal through working with contributors to set up record loading,
troubleshooting, writing instructions and member outreach. The administrators
work remotely from their primary locations with an expected time commitment
between 10 and 15 hours/month. They work closely with the host and hardware
administrator of the Catholic Portal as well as members of CRRA. These

enhancing discoverability of Catholic resources.

that do not load properly into the Portal,

best practices, and protocols for making metadata and content accessible via
the Portal, and
Reach out to members via webinars and one-on-one consultations on making their
content available in the Portal.
The administrators are members of the Digital Access Committee and also consult
with the Collections Committee, the CRRA Executive Director and the CRRA
Association Manager. Through the Committees, the administrators provide input
to and seek advice from members and partners, the CRRA Board of Directors and
other committees. The appointment is for a two-year, renewable term. An
honorarium is available.
The desired qualifications include:
A willingness to configure and troubleshoot software, such as perl, php, MARC
and XML,
A willingness to operate a computer from a command-line terminal,
A willingness to learn,
A willingness and ability to solve problems, and
An ability to communicate and collaborate with others.
Please send a one-page letter of interest with a C.V. to Laura Lyman, CRRA
Association Manager. We will review all applications and nominations when
submitted, and contact individuals for an interview with representatives of the
Digital Access Committee, the Collections Committee, the Executive Director and
the Association Manager. The positions are open until filled. Once filled,
the administrator(s) will begin training as soon as feasible after their
appointment by the Executive Director.
If you are nominating someone for this position, please submit the name and
email address of the nominee, and CRRA will contact them directly. Please share
this opportunity with others who might be interested.
