[LM_NET] SHARE: Position Announcement: Education Librarian

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

Some of you have asked about position openings at the academic level
and how to go about finding them.  I thought I'd share this one that
came through, if anyone is interested in moving into the academic
level (especially since this one is for an Education Librarian who has
experience working at the K-12 levels...fun, fun!)

(Please send your questions to the email / phone listed at the bottom
of this announcement.)

Thanks!
