Rachel at The Liminal Librarian posts about a craigslist Bangalore ad for a telecommuting “highly proficient and experienced researcher.” A while back I thought about applying for a job exchange program in India, and wondered, if I wanted to, would I be able to support my U of C distance students from there? I figured if I could, then maybe they wouldn’t need me, but could hire someone from there for less money. I thought maybe I should keep quiet about that idea. Time will tell if I shouldn’t have hit “publish” on this post! 🙂

call it 1st person research. 🙂
I always wondered if librarians should/could occasionally attach themselves to Study Abroad programs.
Yeah, or Semester at Sea programs! It all seems so unlikely now that I’ve got a family though…
