Some stuff scraped off of Craigslist
Got an absolutely colossal Craigslist feed set up, and am now scouring it for good leads:
EDiscovery Document Professional (Austin, Tx) (20-25/hr, 50hrs/week)
CBS Interactive: Catalog & Metadata Administrator (San Francisco)
Search/Viral Marketing Specialist (Harford County, MD)
(if you take this job, you are a waste of skin, but here it is anyway)
Biological Data Curator (Ann Arbor)
(Must have masters in biology, MLS a plus. I think they may be looking for a while. But hey, if you've got one, good on ya.)
Mass Digitization Project Specialist, University of California ($53,136 - $74,352) (SF Bay Area, East Bay)If you have project management experience, at least, this is likely.
Some more jobs
Tobii Technology, "Online Research - Librarian Ideal" (20/hr), Home or Falls Church, Virginia
(appears to be legit)
Some more special library jobs
Centers for Disease Control - Librarian (GS-9), Atlanta, Georgia
Federal Bureau of Investigation - Technical Information Specialist (GS-7 to GS-9), Las Vegas, Nevada
(Las Vegas is kind of like all the worst aspects of Tucson with all the best aspects of Phoenix, if you've not had the pleasure of exploring it. That's only roughly half as miserable as it sounds, actually.)
Air Force Materiel Command - Librarian (YA-02), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio
Council on Foreign Relations - Part Time Library Assistant (14-15/hr), Washington DC
(10 hours per week, obviously this one won't pay for itself...but it ought to have some unique networking opportunities if that's your thing.)
Defense Security Cooperation Agency - Librarian (YA-02), Heidelberg, Germany
(Sounds like a sweet gig)
Some of these have closing dates within the next week, so hop to it.
It's getting a little late, and I've got to rebuild my Craigslist feed, so I'll get back to you all with some more.
