The Ultimate Deadhead Librarian Job

[The Old Perfessor]

Are You a Deadhead? The Grateful Dead Archive at UC Santa Cruz is
Looking for an Archivist
In a September post, we listed many of the projects that were going to
receive National Leadership Grants from the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS). One grant recipient that got a lot of
attention was the University of California Santa Cruz who received
funding ($615,000) to digitize material from its Grateful Dead Archive
and call it Virtual Terrapin Station.
Today, more news from UC Santa Cruz. We came a cross a post with news
that the Grateful Dead Archive is looking for an archivist. If you’re
a Deadhead archivist this might be the job for you. Here’s what the
item in Relix says:

“the University Library of the University of California, Santa Cruz,
seeks an enterprising, creative, and service-oriented archivist to

I think that you should go for it! On your resume, you can state that
you are the president and founder of the Deadhead Librarians, how
could they say no to that??? : }

OK, so how many people are applying in hopes of an interview and a chance to see the collection, without actual interest in moving  ?   :)  And I suppose that the time has come to swim or to sink To let go my burdens and pour myself a drink I've been listening to what's been said I know it now by rote They say that you must sink or swim But I prefer to float --Sharla June,  Float. --- On Sat, 11/14/09, Book of the Dead <lary...@hotmail.com> wrote:

I am not, but if anyone is even half way considering the job, I say
apply anyway, just to see what happens. I think lots of people will
do that just so they will not regret it later!
