Hey Sarah! I forwarded to several of my contacts in the Bay area. I lived in the Bay area for several years and have many friends out of work. The economy is horrible down there, but this may be a great open door for someone! Thanks for the post. ;)

Hi everyone,

OCLC is seeking a Wikipedian in Residence to serve three months this summer at their San Mateo, California (SF Bay Area) office. This would be a remarkable experience for anyone, including library sciences students. If you don't live in the area, I believe the pay they are offering will be more than enough to temporarily cover your stay in the bay area (an amazing place and of course an excuse to hang out with some cool Wikimedia folks ;) ).

Learn more here: https://jobs-oclc.icims.com/jobs/2081/job

"OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. is a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization dedicated to the public purposes of furthering access to the world's information and reducing information costs.  Tens of thousands of libraries around the world use OCLC services to locate, acquire, catalog, lend and preserve library materials."

OCLC is one of the most important figures in library sciences internationally - your local library most likely utilizes their services. 

Apply today and PLEASE forward to any appropriate parties, mailing lists, etc. Tweet, Facebook, whatever! Thank you,

Sarah
