job posting: UM Lib Special Projects Librarian

[Wilkin, John]

I periodically hire a Special Projects Librarian for a 2- to 3-year term to engage in a wide array of activities across the U-M library and am hiring once again.  The short version of the job posting is below, and the full version is on our library's website at http://bit.ly/w4gf7w.  This is a great opportunity for a recent graduate or someone new to the profession.  Especially important to me are communication and project management skills, and we typically have a major focal area, in this case the library's Omeka implementation.  I'm glad to answer questions about the job.
