Open Position - Manager, UCSF Archives and Special Collections
Bob Schmidt provided this address for posting open positions to the
Archives and Archivists listserv. Since I'm new to using listservs,
I'm not sure how the process works. Is it possible to receive an
acknowledgement that this was received, and that our vacancy announcement
was sent out?
Any information/help is greatly appreciated.
