Several folks from NCSU Libraries, including a few from our Digital Library Initiatives department, will be at the conference. If you're interested in this position or know someone who might be, let's make plans to meet (breakfast, lunch, break). Let's just make sure we get a chance to meet while we're there. You don't have to apply to come talk with us and learn about the position or the work we're doing at NCSU Libraries. If you're curious but don't know if you're qualified or even just have questions about these types of jobs and the kinds of things we look for, we'd like to talk with you.
