From adina_lerner@studio.disney.com Wed Jan 1 16:43:13 1997 Date: Fri, 02 Aug 96 10:17:22 PST From: Adina Lerner To: howard@sims.berkeley.edu Subject: Photo Library Internship Howard, Good to see you in SF at the AAC meeting. When I come back from my month off, I'd like your take on their "situation." I really dug the red carpet treatment though. Limo and plane ride for the day. I felt as if I wasn't even in SF for anytime at all. Kinda a warped day. But cool. Below is my old description of what I wanted from a UCLA intern. I'm more on the web now and dealing with digital image delivery. We have a small Cumulus database now with an itty bitty keyword/authority list. It'd be nice to get some one in though. Caveat: non-paid position Since I have to supervise, I can't spend all my time in that location so it really is a small amount of time there, why I wanted this as a school internship. I'm back in September.
