Blogging from L-Net Training

We're in a computer lab in the PCC Sylvania Campus Library, and learning all about the online reference consortium. It's really interesting. I'm learning a lot, and doing some networking too. I was able to help a gal who just arrived in town last night get some contacts for local temp agencies, so she can find somewhere to work while she's ( Read more... )

Networking scares me, but online reference and research and all that sounds great! Best of luck with the job hunt!

Thanks! I'm in the process of making the suggested changes to the order of my resume right now! :)

good luck, I know you really want to do library work. Sometimes I wish I could get back into it.

Would you consider working in a corporate library, or is that not your cup of tea?

Corporate / business / legal / medical libraries is exactly what I'm looking for. I specialized in coursework on information brokering and business information management. So that's it exactly. I've got some good leads on networking now, and will be applying for a part-time library position probably this weekend.

good luck with it. I loved working in a corporate library. I would recommend that if you can't immediately get into the library you want, you take another job within the corporation and then you can transfer to the library when a job becomes available. This way, you can go in first as a customer and develop a relationship with the staff and find out how things operate. That's what I did - came into the company first in another role (as a temp, actually) then when a position became open, I was one of the first to hear of it. They knew I was going to libary school at the time.
