Most ads include salary information, closing dates and detailed requirements. The list is moderated, which ensures that neither resumes nor positions that are largely programming or computer science-related appear. The positions on the list vary widely. Most are the usual library positions. Some, however, can be atypical, such as one posted recently for a reference librarian at the Kennedy Space Center.
Administrative positions appear often.
Since late November, ads for directors for several college libraries have been posted, as well as ads for state librarians for New York and Mississippi. Library-related positions for library and scientific journals and electronic database publishers also are posted. Information science positions include network administrators, technical support and marketing personnel and Internet specialists.
