Job offering in sunny California

[Janet Kaul]

I think you folks might like this one. It's actually my old job (I'm now
a web librarian at the corporate level), and the product that you arrange
content for is one of the hottest in the industry. Plus, there's lots
of room to grow, as the company is just starting to realize the
importance of us library types, and the department is a really good one.

We're already starting to interview, so get those resumes in now!
