Services We Provide
AD&S provides four service offerings to the Libraries collaboration and communication platforms which include the Libraries’ content management system, blogs and intranet; custom application development; integrated Library Systems support (i.e. catalog services); IT project management.

The Team
The AD&S team currently includes two developers, one project manager/business analyst, and two team members who support the ILS (Integrated Library System). We are expanding our team to a total of five developers to diversify our skill sets, increase thoughtput, and support a growing Digital Initiatives program. We collaborate closely with the Infrastructure Support department in monitoring, supporting, and maintaining systems.

How We Work
AD&S practices agile software development as appropriate with emphasis on short iterations, lightweight requirements-gathering, and developer-functional expert partnerships. Our typical week includes Maintenance Monday (dedicated to ticket resolution and application maintenance), daily standups, a sprint planning meeting, and three days of project work. The developer chosen for this position is expected to form productive pairs with developers on our team and spend a good deal of time in pair programming. We value close collaboration (within the Libraries and with other groups on campus), face-to-face communication, transparency, and we are results-driven while balancing time for fun and innovation.

What We Use
The developers work with open-source software whenever possible. The exception is our ILS which is third-party, but we will soon be able to interact with its catalog data via SQL queries and an API. Our primary languages are Java, PHP, and Ruby, and we use MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. In addition, we support a large installation of DSpace (kb.osu.edu) and a CMS on Silverstrips(library.osu.edu).
