The Institute of Classical Studies is seeking an engaged and active Developer to work on a one-year pilot project Cataloguing Open Access Classics Serials (COACS), in collaboration with the Combined Library of the ICS and of the Hellenic and Roman Societies, and colleagues in the UK, Germany and the USA. The primary function of this role is to assess several databases of open access journals in ancient studies and formulate an intermediate metadata format for recording and sharing the serial and article records; build code to help with cataloguing and indexing the contents, and ingest the results into the library catalogue. The role also requires acting as point of contact for academic project partners and other libraries working with the data and code we create.
