If I were willing to move

this is an interesting position/initiative. I'm posting here in case any of you might be interested.

Philadelphia FIGHT, an AIDS Service Organization in Philadelphia, is seeking a Director for the AIDS Library and Critical Path Internet Project. The AIDS Library is a regional collection of books, video's, consumer and scientific publications, and other materials. Critical Path is an Internet Service Provider offering free dial-up access in four local area codes, free email, free web page and listserv hosting, and web based information for HIV+ persons. The Library's computer lab offers free access to the public affected by the HIV epidemic, and classes to help low income, low literacy people bridge the digital divide.

We are seeking an energetic person with a MLS, M.Ed or equivalent degree, who is excited at managing this incredible community resource. You must have knowlege and understanding of the Internet and World Wide Web but we are not looking for a person to carry out the highly technical aspects of maintaining our ISP. Rather, we are seeking someone with a background in adult education who will help us develop and manage education and outreach projects in communities and schools throughout the metropolitan area. We also seek a person highly committed to helping low income people bridge the digital divide.

Responsibilities will include supervising the Library staff, overseeing the maintenance of the Library's collections, overseeing the management of Critical Path, and developing new initiatives for health education with adults and high school students in our community.

Check out the library at www.aidslibrary.org and www.fight.org.

Equal opportunity employer. People of color, LGBTQ, people living with HIV/AIDS are encouraged to apply.

Compensation: Competitive; salary will be negotiated; we offer excellent benefits including health and life insurance, dental, disability and access to a 403b retirement plan.

Please contact TERRY TRUDEAU, Terry@fight.org. Include a cover letter and
resume. No calls please.
