Subject: Assignment Paris

The U.S. Dept. of Education MAY be willing to provide partial support to a
librarian/information scientist who wants to spend a year (or so) working in
Paris with the International Association of Universities (IAU).  ERIC, IAU and
UNESCO have a joint project underway to produce a periodic INTERNATIONAL
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HIGHER EDUCATION.  While the first edition of the Bibliography,
containing 10,000 records, has been recently released, future challenges include
expanding international coverage, negotiating publications and online rights and
services, and quality control of the database.  This opportunity would be ideal
for a university-based librarian or information specialist who is looking for a
sabbatical opportunity, where the host institution would pick up some of the
costs, and the U.S. Dept. of Education may be willing to cover the additional
costs.

Please announce this possible opportunity to your constituents, and let me know
of any qualified people that may be interested.  Please consider this
announcement to be an expression of interest, and not a definite commitment!
