<p>Pardon me if someone has already brought this up…</p>

<p>[Archivist</a> for the Grateful Dead Archive | University Library](<a href=“http://library.ucsc.edu/about/jobs/archivist-for-the-grateful-dead-archive]Archivist”>http://library.ucsc.edu/about/jobs/archivist-for-the-grateful-dead-archive)</p>

<p>UCSC is looking for a librarian to be in charge of their Grateful Dead Archive. Good pay, great benefits, plus taking care of the collection…</p>

<p>Sounds like a great (grate?) job for the right person.</p>

<p>John Stewart make mock of this job posting on his show Wednesday night. (And incurred the wrath of archivists everywhere. The SAA–Society of American Archivists–has already sent him a letter of complaint. Also according the SAA email listserv traffic, the position has already been filled.)</p>

<p>A job many would (tie) dye for!</p>

5

<p>I know a fairly conservative (later in life), 50+ Phd business school dean jamming on his electric guitar in the family room as I write this who would be perfect for the job!</p>

6

<p>My son might consider quitting Medical School for this job, except he isn’t qualified for it!! Only his interest in the Dead would get him a foot in the door.</p>

<p>Yep, lots of great jobs out there in various library, archivist fields. Need a degree. The libraries of the future are being built now in a few communities with vision. My home town, where I grew up has a new library: <a href=“http://www.lafayettelib.com/pdf/LibraryMap.pdf[/url]”>http://www.lafayettelib.com/pdf/LibraryMap.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
