VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

  
RESEARCH LIBRARIAN FOR MANAGEMENT, EDUCATION, AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

Sandbox. In January 2013 we will open a magnificent new library that promises
to be nothing less than the best learning and collaborative space in the
country. Located on NC State's Centennial Campus, the James B. Hunt Jr.
Library will be an iconic space, a place where people gather to explore new
ways to research, learn, experiment, collaborate, and affect the world.
Designed as a working incubator for educational technology, the Hunt Library
