Peter,
I can't believe it. Bookshare is already 3 employees
short and the lack is causing problems with books
getting approved and into the collection, and there
are so many technical things that need to be worked on
and improved.
We here certainly will miss your sense of humor. I
hope you will find a way to come to CSUN, and I also
wish you good luck in finding another position
quickly.
Cindy
