\"IMG_1522\"<\/a>One of my favorite things about INALJ is how busy it keeps me and this week was no exception.\u00a0 In fact it took a question at a networking even for the DC 85 broads group<\/a> to make me realize just why today is special.\u00a0 Someone asked when I founded INALJ<\/a> and it hit me, October 16, 2010, three years ago today!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last year I wrote <\/a>about the founding of INALJ:<\/p>\n

“I was at home sitting at my computer working on who knows which one of my grad school classes and counting my lucky stars.\u00a0 Just one month previously I had been hired as a Reference Librarian for a government contractor working at a federal library.\u00a0 Naomi House, Librarian!\u00a0 I was only half way through my MLIS at Rutgers<\/a> and there I was, a full fledged librarian.\u00a0 But I was still getting jobs emails and listservs.\u00a0 Then my Aunt Susan sent me a listing for a librarian in her small town Montana library.\u00a0 I knew some of my friends would jump at the chance to apply but how to share these jobs with them?<\/p>\n

One of my greatest frustrations in the job hunt was the myriad number of resources (websites, listservs, word of mouth, etc) I had to use to find jobs.\u00a0 I wanted to share these jobs with my library school classmates in a more organized, searchable, as comprehensive as I could get it format.\u00a0 I put out the call for help and former classmate Elizabeth Leonard<\/a> agreed to help!\u00a0 Elizabeth got the Facebook<\/a> and Twitter <\/a>pages up and our classmate Marybeth Q. joined as the first subscriber to what I initially called my\u00a0 I Need a Library Job Daily Digest<\/em>.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t til November of 2011 that I launched INALJ.com<\/a> and the rest is history, or should I say history to be made I hope :)”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now 3 years in over 1,300<\/strong><\/span> fans have found jobs!!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is to many, MANY more years of INALJ and helping info pros find jobs.<\/p>\n
