SUMMARY: The Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) is a collaborative partnership with nine universities (American University, The Catholic University of America, Gallaudet University, George Mason University, The George Washington University, Georgetown University, Howard University, Marymount University, and The University of the District of Columbia)  providing innovative and cost-effective access to shared information resources, services and expertise. The Applications Integration Developer is building, enhancing, integrating and monitoring high availability IT services responsive to the evolving needs of the WRLC partner universities. 

The Applications Integration Developer will be using Linux and open source software extensively on a daily basis, including Drupal, Solr, and Fedora Commons to name just a few.
