Houghton Has Six Vacancies

Wendorf downplayed the significance of the vacancies. "It is not to have several vacancies at one time," he said.

"It takes long time to fill positions," he said, estimating that each search could take six to eight months.

Wendorf said the Library decided to search for all three positions in the theatre collection at the same time. He said the theatre division is not understaffed right now because there is an overseeing 12 full time employees.

In the cataloging section, one person retired and one departed to take an office elsewhere. The Library advertised one cataloging position last spring, but decided to extend the search when they didn't find the right candidate right way Wendorf said.

Wendorf said he expects all six appointments to be made by the end of December. These are very attractive positions. We're taking our time to find the very best person (for each one).
