Job: Manager, UCSF Archives and Special Collections (University of California, San Francisco) 

Forwarded to STHC-L from ARCHIVES.

I _think_ this is the position that Robin Chandler is leaving (in order 
to become manager of the Online Archive of California; see 
<http://www.medsch.ucla.edu/som/bri/archives/sthc/sth00034.htm>).  
However, her current title is "Head" of UCSF Archives and Special 
Collections, not "Manager"; and the job description points to 
development duties for archives and reference service for the entire 
collection, but no further development of the rare book collection.

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.
