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 ;) ).
"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
