SCoSAA @ Simmons

I am writing to ask whether you would inform students of a part-time
position sorting and describing the business and personal papers of a local
book dealer. The position would require about 5-12 hours a week at the rate
of $15/hour, hours to be chosen either on Thursdays and/or Fridays, 10AM to
4PM, with a possible Wednesday available from time to time. The job may
continue through July.

The student would be working with me (a GSLIS graduate) and Norman Fiering
(recently retired director of the John Carter Brown Library). The
collection will be sent to the John Carter Brown Library when we're done.
We are working in an apartment across from Lord & Taylor's and Sak's Fifth
Avenue at the Prudential Center (Copley Square/Prudential T), so it's very
convenient. It would be ideal if the person had a laptop to work on,
because we are creating a simple finding aid in Microsoft Word. The JCB
doesn't have EAD finding aids, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Word
finding aid gets marked up in simple HTML for their Library/Archive website.

I am available to answer any question. My email address is
diane.booton@gmail.com

Many thanks!

employment, whether now or at some point in the future, to complete the
examination and application process. We anticipate that a variety of positions

throughout New York State.
