fyi, mapsters: this job opening will close December 1, so expressions of
interest should be received in HRD by that date, as we are about to set up an
interview schedule!
I will be away for Thanksgiving, but back on the 27th if you have questions for
me. Otherwise, contact HRD.
Many thanks, Alice Hudson, Chief, Map Division, NYPL
