<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Bilingual Mandarin/English Translator and Cataloger<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The College of Wooster Libraries seeks a bilingual librarian or library school student to assist with a summer project to translate English language metadata and transcriptions to Mandarin. Those with a background in history, museum studies,
or relevant fields but without library experience will also be considered.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of our CLIR Hidden Special Collections grant, we have digitized and transcribed a large collection of 19th century letters, ephemera, photographs, and sermons documenting the experience of Harriet Noyes, a female missionary working
in China. The materials were originally written in English and have been transcribed and described (Dublin Core) in English.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the summer phase of our project, we will be translating all of the transcriptions and metadata into Mandarin, which will be presented alongside the English language transcriptions and metadata on the website. We are seeking a bilingual
individual to supervise 2-3 Mandarin and English speaking/writing students and assist them with translation. When not working directly with the students, it is expected that the translator will be translating the transcripts and metadata alongside the students
or checking the quality of their work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This position will <b>begin on May 23rd and continue until August 23rd</b>, though the translator will be required to communicate periodically about the project prior to the start date. Though we may be able to help negotiate on-campus
housing, the translator will be responsible for the cost of housing if they choose to work in person.
<i>The work may also be performed entirely remotely, though it must be done from the United States.</i> Regular check-ins with the students working on the project will be expected as will availability 8:00am-5:00pm to consult with students as they need assistance.
The complete stipend for the period of work is $6,000. To apply, email Catie Heil at
<a href="mailto:cheil@wooster.edu">cheil@wooster.edu</a> with a resume and cover letter.<o:p></o:p></p>
