Best Regional Job sites<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"alexisstapp\"<\/a>As a seasoned job hunter, you probably have some key websites you check daily for jobs, and\/or subscribe to RSS feeds and are on various listservs.\u00a0 INALJ is one of them, obviously!, but the ALA JobList<\/a> makes the cut, too, I\u2019m sure.\u00a0 Perhaps the SLA Career Center<\/a> is on there, or the SAA Online Career Center<\/a>, or the AALL Career Center<\/a>, depending on your goals and experience.\u00a0 These are the biggies, the heavy-hitters in the library job world, and are all excellent resources.<\/p>\n

When I was embarking on my job search, I made sure to follow all these, whether via RSS feeds, Twitter, or daily check-ins to their websites.\u00a0 I also made a list of about 30 other RSS feeds, listservs, etc., all of which I did buy going through all the INALJ state pages one by one and culling from the resources listed.\u00a0 Of course, I was open to relocation so that gave me a lot to work with.\u00a0 I realize that\u2019s not the case for everyone so I\u2019m sharing some of the best regional resources for job listings:<\/p>\n

Mountain Plains Library Association<\/a> \u2013 MPLA covers 12 states so there are a lot of jobs posted here!<\/p>\n

Pacific Northwest Library Association<\/a><\/p>\n

Library Jobline<\/a> \u2013 focused on Colorado but posts jobs in other Southwestern states and their RSS<\/a><\/p>\n

Jobs in Libraries<\/a> (GA & Southeast)<\/p>\n

Texas Library Association<\/a><\/p>\n

New England Jobline<\/a>, hosted by the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College<\/p>\n

Metronet Libraries Jobline<\/a> \u2013 Minnesota jobs postings mainly but occasionally posts for Wisconsin, Iowa, or the Dakotas<\/p>\n

California Professional Jobs<\/a> \u2013 hosted by the Department of Information Studies at UCLA<\/p>\n

I know most of these are duplicates from individual INALJ state pages but thought it would be good to have them collected in one space.\u00a0 Of course, don\u2019t forget to check out individual INALJ state pages \u2013 if you don\u2019t know, each page has local resources after all the job postings.<\/p>\n

Also, if you are not currently an RSS user, I highly recommend using them for job hunting.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great way to gather a lot of job postings all in one place which makes it so easy to filter through them. \u00a0Sadly Google Reader is defunct but here\u2019s a helpful round-up of RSS reader options<\/a> (from Gizmodo).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
