Jobs, Job Searching and Scholarships

One website that I look at often for library jobs is www.LISjobs.com. They recently reworked their entire website and now there is a lot of information regarding education, scholarships and job searching.

Under the Job Seekers tab, you can click on Job ads to see the most recent listings, but there is also a section that has links to resume resources, searching advice and salary information.

Under the Career Development tab, there are several links including a blog that is based on the book Rethinking Information Careers which is used in 504.

Under the Education tab, click on the scholarships link and there is a lot of information there.

Also, the Hire Me workshop part 2 Interviewing for Library Positions: Professional Tips and Techniques for Successful Interviews will be held on November 21st at 5pm in the Library Meeting Rooms 313/314.

SLA events for this semester

I sent out an email to officers while earlier in the planning stages, but I thought I'd post what I'm working on here, and also ask if anyone had suggestions for dates:
(All of these events and locations are in Tucson.)


1. Vendor relations workshop with Sandy Kramer, Leslie, and possibly a rep from Elsevier.

2. Tour of a medical library (AHSL) and discussion about medical librarianship (with Sandy Kramer).

3. Discussion, with possible tour, of a college art school library. This college is private, so it would also somewhat be a corporate library. This would be with Suzan Brown.

4. Combine with LSO for a resume/interviewing workshop, also with Sandy Kramer.

As a side note, I did contact Judith Seiss from One Person Librarian, and she said she'd love to come to Arizona at some point; possibly next semester, but she cannot this semester. Because we are a student group, she would only charge us travel and hotel. Just something to think about for whomever is the next Events Coordinator.

Please do let me know if you have any input, because I will be trying to solidify dates by the end of next week.

Thanks!
Nicole/Events Coordinator
