LISjobs.com Launches Online Community

New discussion forums now open

 

LISjobs.com, the largest free library career portal on the Internet, is
pleased to announce the launch of its new online community for librarians.
Devoted entirely to career development and job hunting, these forums provide
a space for librarians, LIS students, library workers, and information
professionals to discuss professional development issues:
http://lisjobs.com/forum/.

 

"I'm excited to be able to offer this space for collaboration and
discussion," says Rachel Singer Gordon, webmaster, LISjobs.com. "As
librarians, we know that we work and learn best in community -- I look
forward to watching the forums grow." Current forum moderators include: 

 

*	Michael Stephens, LIS schools
*	Jess Bruckner, Jumpstart your career
*	Meredith Farkas, Professional development and participation
*	Susanne Markgren, Talking tenure
*	Kim Dority, Professional writing
*	Sophie Brookover, Work/life balance

 

In recent related developments, Info Career Trends, LISjobs.com's
professional development newsletter, has moved to the Wordpress platform to
better serve its subscribers. Its long-time career Q&A columnists, Tiffany
Allen and Susanne Markgren, have moved to their own blog, and
author/entrepreneur Kim Dority joins in with her new monthly column on
"Rethinking Information Careers." 

 

Info Career Trends continues to fill an underserved niche, devoted entirely
to career and professional development issues for librarians and information
professionals. The newsletter and column content are accessible at:
http://www.lisjobs.com/career_trends/. Rachel Singer Gordon shares: "I'm so
pleased to bring Kim on board, and to watch the Library Career People column
evolve in its new blog format. I look forward to hearing others' opinions
across the LISjobs.com online community."

 

LISjobs.com, launched in 1996, provides free library-related job listings to
both employers and job seekers, as well as related services from resume
postings to career development blogs.
