SF Chronicle: New Web site for campus jobs
Anastasia Hendrix Wednesday, October 22, 2003
Bay Area university officials have started a Web site that will make it easier for job seekers to apply for jobs at 18 campuses across Northern California.
The site, http://www.bayareaherc.org, went online Tuesday and lists all the jobs available at community colleges, professional schools and universities -- so whether you're looking to be the president of Stanford University or a secretary at Heald College, all you have to do is point and click for more information.
The idea was the brainchild of a group of academics at UC Santa Cruz who collaborated with their counterparts at other schools to create the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium. By pooling resources, the schools will be able to attract more qualified applicants than they could independently, said Scott Rappaport, a spokesman at UC Santa Cruz.
The consortium estimates its campuses will hire as many as 20,000 new employees over the next five years and as many as 50,000 by 2013.
"In addition to faculty and research positions that are typically associated with higher education, there are also positions for lawyers, nurses, mechanics, engineers, Web developers, accountants, psychologists, animal care specialists, medical assistants and many others that can all now be found at one centralized Web location,'' said HERC director Nancy Aebersold.

Sebastian Fiedler at Universität Augsburg im Deutschland is teaching a seminar called Personal Webpublishing Systeme und Weblogs im Kontext von Lernen, Lehren und Wissensmanagment, and among the readings are my two articles [1] [2] on weblogs written, it seems now, oh so long ago. The students are responding on their own weblogs and it's interesting to read analysis of the articles, and also interesting that the students are writing in a second language, English; I wish I could respond in German.

What amazes me is how these articles are still relevant introductions for lots of people. Two years isn't that long ago, but in the tech world it is generations, and yet weblogging is essentially still the same practice. This also makes me think that another article, a progress report maybe, about some of the interesting developments or detours that some have taken, would be worth writing. For example, the purpose of my weblog, as a work, display, and archive space is quite different that the journaling and writing focus of most other webloggers.
