Annalisa Wilde started the topic Job Opportunity at the NYPL: Digital Policy Analyst in the forum
Data Visualization 1 week, 6 days agoHi all,
A friend sent this over – Digital Policy Analyst position at the NYPL and I thought I would pass along. The biggest downside is that it is a “temporary” scab (non-union) position.

Re:article – I never use location services, but when that article came out I used it to make the argument to all of my friends about why they shouldn’t grant location access to their apps.
