Hello.
Earlier today, I sent along a job ad for a spatial data librarian at
Cornell. I inadvertently forgot to add the information on _how_ to apply.
Here it is:

"Applications for Academic professional positions should be submitted to
Susan Markowitz, Director of Library Human Resources, 201 Olin Library,
Ithaca, NY  14853-5301.  Phone:  607/255-5181 (Submit cover letter, resume
and names, addresses telephone numbers, & e-mail addresses for three
references)

These listings are only announcements of open positions; they are not
complete descriptions of jobs and their responsibilities.  The department
normally provides detailed descriptions, if you are contacted for an interview.

Cornell University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer
strongly committed to diversity.  We value qualified candidates who can
bring to our community a variety of backgrounds and experiences."



Here's the job ad again:
