New ALA Web site helps library job seekers succeed
A new American Library Association (ALA) Web site -- Get a Job!, http://getajob.ala.org -- offers library-job seekers advice, resources, links, best practices and real-life examples. Full of advice for finding a job in the current tough economy, it features information from a range of ALA divisions and units, as well as links to information about general best practices in job seeking.
"New graduates and members looking for jobs in a tough employment market have asked what the association can do to help them; the Get a Job!

"From JobLIST to mentoring opportunities, the new Web site brings together ALA resources as well as true life success stories and advice from HR directors and library staff to provide a one-stop resource for job seekers."
The ALA accelerated the Web site launch in response to the current urgency of many members' and other library professionals' job searches. The site is a work-in-progress, where library professionals and support staff will find advice on how to use social networking tools in a job search, what to do if you're laid off, budgeting assistance, networking techniques and strategies for researching the economy and jobs in various parts of the United States.
As it evolves, the site will include information specific to people seeking their first job, mid-career staff and people changing professions.

Hi-
I'm a 2007 Clarion MSLS-Online grad and also the ALA Federal and Armed Forces Libraries Round Table Liaison to Clarion's MSLS program. <http://tiny.cc/IUuM7> I wanted to touch base with you and find out if it would be possible to put my contact information out to the current students who are interested in careers in federal libraries. I can provide information about the Careers in Federal Libraries Google group. <http://groups.google.com/group/careers-in-federal-libraries>
