From John.Little@Duke.edu Tue Jun 4 20:40:26 2002 From: John.Little@Duke.edu (John Little) Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 15:40:26 -0400 Subject: [SigLAN-L] 3 new jobs at Duke Message-ID: <001801c20bff$aceb4120$95bf1098@john> Duke University Libraries is pleased to announce the posting of three new positions within the Perkins Library division for Information Technology Services (ITS). Prospective candidates are invited to apply for an opportunity to help form and develop the Digital Library @ Duke and to shape the future of library technology services. The Digital Library @ Duke is a key component of the University's overall strategic plan and is intended to support - and eventually to help transform - teaching and learning by members of the Duke community. The new positions are part of a growing ITS operation, each reporting to the head of one of three new functional departments. The three departments, which are responsible for systems support, web services, and research & content development, work collaboratively on an evolving set of projects intended to give programmatic focus to the digital library. Full descriptions of the positions and application information is at the following URLs: Metadata Architect/Programmer http://www.lib.duke.edu/jobs/architectprogrammer.html Systems Administrator http://www.lib.duke.edu/jobs/systemsadministrator.html Web Project/ Production Manager http://www.lib.duke.edu/jobs/webprojectproduction.html The application process is described within each individual job announcement. /John John.Little@Duke.edu Head, Library Web Services 919.660.5932 From cuddy@library.med.nyu.edu Fri Jun 7 21:00:21 2002 From: cuddy@library.med.nyu.edu (Colleen Cuddy) Date: Fri, 07 Jun 2002 16:00:21 -0400 Subject: [SigLAN-L] Reminder SIG-LAN petition Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20020607153937.00bb4598@library.med.nyu.edu> A reminder to all SIG-LAN members:  A petition is available online until June 15th to change our name to SIG Library Technologies and update our group description.  We need 10% of our membership to complete this petition.  Many members have already completed the form in response to an email sent to all SIG-LAN members last month, and we have nearly reached the number needed for submission of the petition to the ASIST Board of Directors.  Thank you!  If you have not taken the opportunity to complete the petition there is still time.  The petition will remain active until June 15th

Please have your ASIST number handy when you visit the site. If you prefer to print out the form and mail it to me, please feel free to do so.  The petition is available at http://info-tamers.com/asist .  You MUST be a SIG-LAN member in good standing to submit the petition.
