Is there a way to advertise with the ARL Diversity Scholars 
(http://www.arl.org/diversity/)? You might try contacting Mark Puente to 
see if he can broadcast it to students in his programs.

This would be a 2 year residency for a newly-minted MLS or MLIS interested in learning how to catalog maps. We can start with someone who has had a course in cataloging, and can even take someone who has no experience. (Imagine that - an opportunity to get that mythical 2 years of experience!)

Do library schools communicate with each other regarding diversity positions? I am familiar with how technical services positions are communicated and will use those methods but I don't know how connected diversity library school students are to these discussion lists.
