WebJunction.org is looking for "community editors" for their website. WebJunction is an online community of libraries and other agencies sharing knowledge and experience to provide the broadest public access to information technology.
From their call for participation:
Do you pride yourself on your expertise in an aspect of public library practice? Have a network of colleagues who are no dummies themselves? Are you looking for a place to share what you know (and make a bit of a name for yourself)?
WebJunction.org, an online community for library staff, seeks community editors to develop content and resources on key topics of interest to the library community. Our goal is to transfer responsibility for enhancing and maintaining the site's growing knowledge base to those who know these topics best.
Community Editors will:
- Manage a particular section of the site, with authority to approve or reject new or updated content and publish approved content to WJ.
- Draw on their personal networks and their own work to add new resources, and also solicit the community for contributions.
- Identify gaps in the existing content of a particular section, and find content to fill those gaps.
In the first phase of this program, five community editor positions are available; all positions are volunteer. Experts in the following topics are encouraged to apply:
Technology: Basic Support and Troubleshooting; Networking; Hardware; Security
Policies and Practices: Managing Public Access Computing; Marketing Library Services
Buying and Funding: Funding Strategy; Purchasing Advice
Services to Libraries: Canadian Libraries; Rural and Small Libraries;
Learning Center: Leading Training;
Community Center: Library Features ; Message Board Editor
