Hi Yasha,

How are you doing? It's Nora Egloff (now Zimmerman) from way back in the
day.

This job honestly looks like a really interesting opportunity to me, I did
a double-take when I saw who listed it! I was wondering if NYU Libraries
would consider a fully or mostly remote hybrid configuration for this role?


Warmly,
Nora
