[Web4lib] Job: Special Projects Librarian, Library Information Technology, University of Michigan

[John Wilkin]

This is a periodic posting for a Special Projects Librarian position
reporting to me (as AUL for Library Information Technology) at the
University of Michigan.  It¹s a two-year position with broad range of
responsibilities--an excellent early career opportunity.  This brief
description (below) is being posted in all of the typical places.  A fuller
description is online at http://www.lib.umich.edu/hr/employment/littas.html.
(The description online still erroneously refers to responsibilities in
Technical and Access Services.)  I¹m glad to answer questions and would be
grateful if folks would forward it to potential candidates.
