Ask Naomi: Duplications

January 30, 2012

One aspect of the daily digest that we are always behind on is duplications. I am often asked why there are several duplicate jobs posted in each version of the daily jobs digest. Part of the reason is time- it is more important to me to get the most jobs on the list that I…

Ask Naomi: Why not post all jobs online?

January 3, 2012

One question I get often is why is the daily digest the format I settled on instead of posting all jobs on Twitter or online? My goal long term is to make an online database but one that is sortable and searchable. One of the key components of INALJ the digest as a service is…

INALJ cofounder and big supporter: Elizabeth Leonard!!! Naomi: What is your dream job and why?

Ask Naomi: But I want to be a Librarian

December 19, 2011

While one of my great missions with INALJ is to expose library staff and librarians to jobs outside the “L” word/world by focusing on your skill sets, if you have really asked yourself do I want a job or a library job and answered “library, definitely” then what can you do to get a job…
