JB,
You might try the e-zine for librarians - Ex Libris. I haven't
read it, but it's been recommended.
I'm sending this to the list in case other librarians are
interested.
Best,
Dee
who is very fond of librarians

This is probably not the appropriate list for this forward, but
it's the only one to which I belong. In the US, there may by
individuals in your institutions who might be interested in the
position. I would rate the collection of maps at West Chester
University as good, but not superior, while the collection of
reference materials on maps I would rate as very good. If I weren't
afraid of work, I might apply myself.
