Systems/Cataloger Position Annoucement

[Inga M. Waite]

We are currently looking for a person to serve as our Systems 
Administrator, WebMaster, and Cataloger.  While this may sound like 
alot of work for one person, we are an extremely small academic 
institution (less than 500 students), with a small library staff (4 
professionals), and a small collection (65,000 titles, with a 
growth rate of 2,000 books per year) so the work load is varied, and 
do-able.   

We will be interviewing at ALA Mid-Winter, Feb 15 - 17, in Washington 
D.C., and conducting phone interviews with applicants who don't plan 
to attend.  Please email me directly if you have any questions.  A
