Summer Job - Updating IT literacy documents

EUCS Student Support Team produces a range of basic introductory documents
for use by students in the central computing labs.  Each summer these
manuals are updated to reflect changes in the labs and in new versions of
software packages.  It is also anticipated that some new manuals will be
produced.

The work will involve checking and updating documents on Microsoft Word,
Excel, PowerPoint and Mozilla/Internet Explorer for use with Windows NT
and the Macintosh.  This will involve checking for differences in new
versions of software, replacing current text and illustrations as
appropriate.

You will be expected to carry out the work according to current EUCS
documentation standards including the use of established style sheets and
layout features in Word.  Text and draft of new documents will be produced
in Microsoft Word with final documents being published in InDesign for the
Macintosh.  Some of the work will also involve preparation of documents
for publication on the World Wide Web.

Substantial experience of Microsoft Office and a working knowledge of the
Student Mail System and Mozilla/Internet Explorer under Windows are
essential, along with experience of desktop publishing.  Experience of the
Macintosh, Windows NT, DTP and Web publishing would be an advantage.

It is anticipated that work would take about 6 weeks to complete, starting
on or about 16th June. The successful applicants for the two posts will be
paid at the normal University rates for summer work (�196.88 per week).
