Apologies for cross-postings - information from the most recent Welcome To Your Library e-bulletin. If any one is interested please contact Helen Carpenter in the first instance (see below). Possible paid employment in UK public library for US librarian? Tony Olden, senior lecturer in the Centre for Information Management at Thames Valley University, writes: I have been teaching an intensive summer course here at the University of Hawaii for the last three weeks, and my students are now familiar about the Welcome to Your Library project amongst other UK developments. One of the students was Zhan Hunt, who has worked in Hawaii Kai Public Library and in Ewa Beach Public and School Library, Honolulu. Zhan has now completed her Master of Library and Information Science, an American Library Association-accredited programme. She is extremely talented, and has a particular interest in serving multicultural and diverse communities. Zhan would be very interested in working in the UK for six months, starting around October 2007. I know that such things are complicated to arrange because of immigration and other reasons, but would you have any sense as to whether a public library might be interested in taking her on? It would need to be paid employment rather than a short-term unpaid placement. Note from HC: If you are in a position to circulate this to other relevant networks in library world please do. Tony has sent me Zhan Hunt's resume, so if you are interested please contact me in the first instance, so I can send you her resume and further contact details.
