Job description

Job Title: Remote IT Consultant – Symphony ILS Migration
Location: Remote
Work Authorization: US Citizen
Work Mode: part time

Overview
STSI is seeking an experienced IT consultant to support a federal government library with a Symphony Integrated Library System (ILS) migration. Due to strict security protocols, the consultant will work entirely in an advisory and coaching capacity via remote screen-sharing — Library staff will perform all direct system actions. The consultant will provide real-time guidance, troubleshooting, and technical instructions throughout the engagement.
Key Responsibilities
  • Guide Library staff through fresh installation of the Symphony application and Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) on a STIG-hardened Linux server
  • Advise on version alignment between the new installation and the existing production environment
  • Identify and advise on STIG-related security exceptions, permission adjustments, and configuration settings required for Symphony and MSSQL to function properly
  • Consult on Oracle legacy database export procedures and configuration backup execution
  • Provide toolset and step-by-step guidance for ANSEL-to-Unicode character set conversion
  • Assist Library staff with database restoration and import of converted Unicode data into the new MSSQL instance
  • Support smoke testing and initial system validation on the new server
  • Advise network engineers on DNS record updates to redirect library traffic to the new environment
  • Guide Enterprise discovery layer configuration for connectivity verification
Required Qualifications
  • Hands-on experience with Symphony ILS (installation, configuration, migration)
  • Proficiency with Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) — installation, database import/restore
  • Experience with Oracle database export and legacy data extraction
  • Familiarity with STIG-hardened Linux environments and working within security-constrained configurations
  • Knowledge of ANSEL-to-Unicode data conversion for bibliographic/library records
  • Experience with DNS configuration and enterprise discovery layer connectivity
  • Strong communication skills — ability to coach and guide staff remotely in real time
  • Comfortable working via MS Teams or equivalent screen-sharing tools

This is a remote position.
