Hey guys. I'm a librarian and right now, I'm looking ALL OVER the place for a job. I came upon this posting. Get a load of this drek. Also, look at the location, see if it surprises you. P.S. I'm obviously not applying for this. I just find it shocking that I find few Jewish libraries or Jewish Studies Librarians being hired, but we get this drek!
