The UCLA Film & Television Archive seeks an energetic, creative, collaborative, flexible, and forward-thinking individual for the Cataloging Supervisor position that manages the day to day operations of the UCLA Film & Television Archive Cataloging Department.

The UCLA Film & Television Archive serves a variety of constituencies, including the School of Theater, Film and Television, selected University research projects and programs, outside researchers in many disciplines, the general public, and the film and television industry. The collections of the Archive are broad in scope, designed to serve the teaching, research, and, to some extent, production needs of its many users. The Archive contains around 300,000 motion pictures and television programs, plus 27 million feet (5,000 hours) of newsreel footage, and 40,000 radio programs. When fully staffed, the Cataloging Department fully catalogs approximately 450 titles a year on item-level records, cataloging directly onto Voyager. In addition, (also when fully staffed) the Department inputs 10,000 minimal level item-level cataloging records into Voyager for all titles newly acquired for the film and television collections, and maintains records already input for these collections. In 2009-2011, the Cataloging Department has added to Voyager a small but growing number of collection-level records linked to database-derived item-level inventory records (cumulatively, 28 collection-level records, representing 22,785 items represented by collection-level records). The Cataloging Department is responsible for the bibliographic organization of all materials in the Archive and for consulting with other departments of the Archive concerning the proper organization and use of information.
