Hello Code4liber's
I was talking to someone from Rowan University after giving a presentation
yesterday and he was telling me about an opening they have for a Web
Development Librarian. I'm not sure what the pay range is, but the
position is an AFT position that has the same contract as I do at TCNJ
(that is negotiated by the State of NJ) and as far as librarian positions
go, the pay and benefits aren't all that bad............. Edward
