Hi Everyone,
Has anyone seen a job posting for an Image Database Administrator for
Lucasfilms in San Francisco on this listserv? I saw the announcement on one
of the _4Lib listservs and now I can't find it. It would help me
tremendously if someone could find it and let me know the date it was sent
out (and possibly a copy?). You can contact me directly at :
shauna_borger at hotmail.com
Thanks everyone!
Sincerely,
Shauna Borger

> producing audible written descriptions of non-verbal visual information,
> such as digital photographs, television programs, motion pictures, and live

> Who Should Attend? Everyone is welcome to attend, especially
> representatives from organizations that have received (or are considering
> apply for) digital imaging grants from the Illinois State Library.
> Note: This is a Working Workshop! We will be creating and recording real
> audio descriptions during this workshop. You may take the audio description
> you create back to your library and integrate it into your library website,
> collection of digital images, etc.
> Please bring a photograph (the original -- only if it is safe and secure to
> do so -- or a copy, or a digital image) for which you want to have an audio
