Consultant-short term
I am seeking a contractor for a short-term position advising and supporting the implementation of an improved information management system for our San Francisco-based consulting and research organization (Great Place to Work Institute, Inc; www.greatplacetowork.com). If you have relevant experience, or know of anyone else who does, I would very much appreciate your passing this along! I am having a hard time finding the right resource here and would love any advice others have.
This project has two possible scopes that I would want to discuss with candidates to determine which was the best fit based on fees, availability, and skills.
First, the widest scope, would be to analyze the information management needs of our organization at a high-level, recommend a multi-phased project that would meet those needs, and oversee the implementation of the first phase of that project (which would need to include the narrower scope I indicate below).
Alternatively, the narrower scope, and the immediate pain point that we need to address this summer, is to understand our staff's needs regarding the files that we currently save to our server and sharepoint sites, catalogue and re-organize this information to increase our ability to find information when we need it, and create policies and procedures to maintain this information going forward.
I am looking for someone with previous experience making the disorganized, organized; the un-findable, findable, who can communicate exceptionally well with colleagues, and use good judgment to work independently. Students of information management or in related library science programs are also welcome to apply. We have approximately $6,000 budgeted for this work.
Interested parties can contact me directly at skulin@greatplacetowork.com.
Look forward to hearing from you!

Recruitment #1003-000869-001
Salary: $27.34-$33.23/hr; $4,739-$5,760/mo; $56,868-$69,120/yr
Final Filing Deadline: 6/7/2010 5:00:00 PM
Type of Recruitment: Open - Competitive
Department: Library
Type of Employment: Full Time (40 hrs/week)
Date Opened: 5/3/2010 8:00:00 AM
The County of Yolo is currently recruiting to fill a Branch Manager I position for the Yolo County Library. This position is responsible for managing the A.F. Turner Community Library in West Sacramento including branch materials collection, community-wide outreach and programming, providing high level customer service, serving as a member of the Library leadership and policy team, overseeing and administering the branch budget, and cultivating and maintaining positive relations with local officials, government entities, citizens groups, and public service organizations.
To be considered, please submit an online County of Yolo Employment Application and responses to the supplemental questions.
THE DEPARTMENT
The Yolo County Library was formed in 1910, serves a population of approximately 144,310 (2009) and has an annual budget of approximately $5.1 million. The library system includes branches in Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto, Knights Landing, Clarksburg and Yolo, as well as a Central Services office located in Woodland that provides technical services and support. Yolo County Library is home to the County’s Archives and Records Center, and also offers a countywide adult literacy program and several other grant programs, and resources, described on the Library's web site at www.yolocountylibrary.org.
The Yolo County Library is well-used and appreciated by the community. Circulation and usage of the Library has increased every year for the past 25 years. In FY 2008-09 there were 635,481 visits to Library facilities; 293,898 hits to the Library web site; more than 1.5 million items circulated; 20,145 individuals attended 903 library-sponsored programs; and community groups used meeting rooms regularly where available, at our Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto and Clarksburg branches.
This is an exciting time for the Yolo County Library. The Stephens Davis Branch Library has recently moved into temporary quarters so that over the next year the main branch can be renovated, space can be added, and a new materials sorting unit can be installed.

A new West Sacramento Community Library opened in October, 2009 and a new joint use Winters Community Library opened in November, 2009.
A seven member Library Advisory Board makes recommendations and provides advice on library policies, service development, and direction. The Library is governed by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. Population growth in this rural community is slow. The Board of Supervisors has committed to preserving agricultural land, which limits the amount of growth annually, and thus limits available resources resulting from development. These changes impact the organization and the prioritization of service provisions, leading to business practices that emphasize technology and other methods to allow customers to help themselves and improve customer service.
