These “job search tips and tricks” are being used by the Closed Stacks librarian in her current job search as listed in her post Why Don’t I Have a Job Yet?:
“1. ALA Hot Jobs has a wide variety of position openings, and the listings are national, especially good if you are open to a move.
2. LISjobs is my personal favorite because of the little feed on the side that lists recent interesting positions posted. It is also a national listing organization, and seems to get some different things than ALA.
3. http://www.libraryjobpostings.org creates sites where they compile listings of regional job sources.
4. Chronicle of Higher Ed has academic library job listings.
5. HERC, or Higher Education Recruitment Consortium lists academics jobs on regional sites, and often is the preferred place to apply for faculty positions at colleges.
6. Higher Ed Jobs is another place that colleges often ask you to apply from instead of directly from their college recruitment sites for faculty positions.
7. Inside Higher Ed sometimes has librarian jobs posted, though I haven’t had as much success as with Higher Ed Jobs.
8. I often peruse the websites of schools I am interested in working at, as not all of the library science jobs are posted on national listservs.
9. I follow LibInfoSciJobs and Libgig_jobs on Twitter (follow me!), and both have been really good sources…”
