Hi Dick,

Although Canadians would be preferred for this position, I believe an
American with a library degree and the necessary qualifications would be
considered, particularly if that person has a strong knowledge of
accessible book production and sharing.

And I’ve also included the job posting here for your convenience:

*Content Coordinator – National Network for Equitable Library Service*

The BC Libraries Cooperative <https://libraries.coop/> is a non-profit,
member-driven cooperative providing several high availability services to
members across Canada. The Co-op uses primarily open source tools and
contemporary development methodologies and hosting practices.

As service partner to the National Network for Equitable Library Service
<https://nnels.ca/> (NNELS), the Co-op is hiring a full-time (35
hours/week) Content Coordinator. As a vital member of a lean team, the
Content Coordinator is responsible for the maintenance and expansion of the
NNELS collection of books in accessible digital formats. Collections are
purchased, produced, and exchanged, and items are budgeted for and tracked.
This position reports to the NNELS Project Coordinator.

This is a virtual office opportunity; residency in the Greater Vancouver
(British Columbia) area is preferred.

Ideal start date: October 3, 2016

*The position requires that candidates be:*

o    Experienced with building and maintaining complex professional
relationships with a variety of other organizations;

o    Comfortable communicating in a digital environment and using social
media;

o    Interested in the technical and legal aspects of producing and
obtaining content in accessible formats;

o    Ability to work collaboratively and positively with individuals and
groups in a distributed environment (team members do not all work in one
location).

*What we offer:*

Co-op staff work remotely, using the Vancouver office for regular or
occasional face-to-face meet-ups.

team in a growing community enterprise.
