This position as Library Director at VIMS is a superb opportunity. Salary is a little weak, but the resources and perks are matchless. VIMS has the BRS/Search engine in a UNIX environment, owns the entire set of BIOSIS Previews records, the entire set of ZooRecord records, has a Fujitsu M4099D very high speed scanner, has 95,000+ pages of technical reports scanned and web-published, and has excellent display facilities. VIMS is a graduate school of a college with a royal charter. The Library and office extend 130 windowed feet along the York River, opposite the site of the Battle of Yorktown. In the back of the property is the Civil War fort and remnants of the Revolutionary War fort, built 150 years after John Smith walked the grounds. 20 miles away is the excavation of the probable site of Powahatan's village. Williamsburg is 18 miles away, Jamestown, 25 miles. Intact shell fossils abound. Geologically the Institute sits in the crater caused by the asteroid that hit the Chesapeake Bay. VIMS' mission is the protection of the coastal and estuarine environment. The research is first rate, carried out by a community with a Mayberry feel. Chas.
