Hi Everyone! Just wanted to let you know I will be speaking at McGill on April 12th from 13:00-15:00. Space is limited. Hoping to meet many of you so don’t be shy, come up and introduce yourselves 🙂
There are many places you can interact online with other library job seekers. What I love about LinkedIn is that overall the discussions tend to lean towards being more professional than they do on Facebook, Twitter and other sites. In no particular order: INALJ- The I need a Library job Group : I founded this…
What a great month it has been! INALJ reached 1,000,000 page views on March 17, 2013!!! Fifty-three fans reported that they found jobs! In March the daily site visits jumped up 50%!!! Some fast stats for March 2013: 1,120,534 total INALJ.com page views (all time) and 239,353 in March alone over 12,830 Tweets milestone reached…
by Amanda Viana, Head Editor, INALJ Massachusetts With Eyes Wide Open: seeing your learning and experience in a new light As an undergraduate English major I had a professor who was memorable mainly for her absurdly specific essay guidelines: ‘five sentences per paragraph, three paragraphs per page, go over and I won’t read it’. But…
1,000,000 So excited to be typing this! INALJ.com started as a small webspace to host my daily jobs and share success stories in November of 2011. Just over a year later, on March 17th, 2013, I have hit 1 million page views!!! Here is to sharing more jobs, advice, tips & tricks and getting to…
This is just a brief place for me to say THANKS to the 188 current INALJ volunteers and the many, many more past volunteers! I am (nearly) speechless! I just over a month and a half we have banded together some previous and a whole bunch of new info pros, librarians and library staff to…
What a great month it has been! I reached 880,000 page views the fourth week of February! Forty-eight fans reported to me that they found jobs! In February I launched state, province and country pages and my site traffic more than doubled, sometimes it was 4x the old average! Also in late February I launched…
I am often asked why I don’t have comment threads here at INALJ.com or on FB. The reason is simple- I want all comments to be in one place and part of larger conversations. That is why I created the LinkedIn group for I Need a Library Job. I never wanted to constantly have to…
The impetus behind INALJ (I Need a Library Job) was creating a jobs resource of all the library and information professional jobs we could find and distributing them to as many people as possible. To this end it is mostly the INALJ Daily Digest that is the reason for INALJ, the reason for our success…
The impetus behind INALJ (I Need a Library Job) was creating a jobs resource of all the library and information professional jobs I could find and distributing them to as many people as possible. But beyond that I wanted to inspire hope in job hunters who were struggling and show them that success was possible.…
What a fantastic month it has been! Sixty fans found jobs which is up from twenty-two last July and twenty more than in June of this year. In July 2011 the daily INALJ digest was around 81 pages long. Now it often 200+ pages by Friday. Some fast stats for July 2012: over 10,200 Tweets…
reposted from 12/8/11 So how do I pronounce INALJ? I say it Eye-Na-Elle-Jay (or Ina as in Garten, Elle Jay) but I have heard it pronounced as one syllable inallggg and as I-N-A-L-J. 🙂 It stands for I Need a Library Job- and I wish it was a less clunky name but I can’t think…
My interview with success story Sarah Naomi: How did you find your current job? Sarah: My Mom mentioned it to me first. I ignored her until I saw it in the INALJ daily digest and thought it looked interesting. I applied for it and received a phone interview. After that they asked me to come…
We had a bit of a scare on Saturday. Our little Toyota Corolla was sideswiped by a semi truck on 495N on Saturday just before 6pm when we were returning from a daytrip to Fredericksburg, VA. We are so lucky that all we lost was the front bumper of our car, some of the front…
Reposted from 12/15/11 Back a few months ago I asked fans on FB and the Music Librarians group on LinkedIn what songs they listened to while job hunting. I got a fabulously eclectic group of responses and created this radio station: Grooveshark Music to Job Hunt By. I am happy to intermittently add more songs-…

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…
This year I shall try and look at and update my LinkedIn profile and resume every single weekend. I shall also try and be active on various LinkedIn groups, add interviews and articles to INALJ.com for the upcoming week and sleep. Come join the discussion about new habits in this new year on INALJ LinkedIn…
Don’t worry- I plan on making it much easier in future postings. But for now here are the instructions. I have had a few people contact me who have had trouble figuring out where to click to find the daily pdf (over 150+ pages of jobs) on the link provided in the daily email. (shhh-…
I Need a House– well actually I am selling mine because it is waaaaay too big for 2 people! So College Park, MD (we are just a -hop-skip-jump down the road from UMD) and DC area peeps- let me know if you are interested and I can hook you up with my agent (note the…
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…
Welcome to the INALJ (I Need a Library Job) webpage/journal. This is a one stop shop where fans could find all of my pages and email information as well as bios, interviews, book reviews and original articles by my friends, colleagues and fans. Every day I will add more to this website so stop by,…
Today on SLA’s Future Ready 365 blog my article from earlier this year I Need a Library Job: Finding and Filling a Need on the Fly was republished! Since it went to press a few months back INALJ has grown in leaps and bounds. Over 3,800 FB fans, over 1,800 Twitter fans, over 600 LinkedIn…
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…
I thought I would share way too many photos of my trip to Istanbul over the Thanksgiving holiday with everyone. If anyone has ever wondered what I look like when I am sick then you are in for a treat! Also my husband Sana is prominently featured throughout as is my INALJ business card. I…
