In this free and open e-Forum discussion, our hosts will look at
performing a successful job search in library technical services.
Whether you are new to the field or just changing career focus, this
e-Forum will provide you with the pointers you need to secure your next
position in this continually changing area of librarianship. What can
you do to put yourself ahead of the competition? How can you make
yourself more visible in the crowded job market? Need a refresher on
cover letters and resumes? How about interview basics? Do you know how
to best manage your on-line presence while conducting a job search? We
will explore these questions and many more with our two hosts: Tiffany
Allen, Library HR insider and Erica Findley, a new graduate who recently
landed an academic library position.
Tiffany Eatman Allen is the Director of Library Human Resources at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Library. She
works extensively with librarians, staff, and Information and Library
Science graduate students, and is also currently the Chair of the
Library Leadership & Management Association (LLAMA) Human Resources
Section. She holds a BA in Political Science and Psychology and an MLS,
both from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has
published in traditional print media, including C&RL News and in The
Librarian’s Career Guidebook, as well as several articles written online
for LISCareer.com. Additionally, she has served as co-editor of
LISCareer.com and as co-author of “Career Q&A with the Library Career
People” for LISjobs.com since 2003.
Erica Findley is the Digital Resources/Metadata Librarian at Pacific
University Library in Forest Grove, Oregon. She earned her MLIS is 2008
and has held a variety of appointments in ALA. Currently, she is the
Vice Chair of the ALCTS New Members Interest Group where she has led two
on-line discussions about performing successful job searches. She is

and the other for the ALCTS ANO Editor position.
*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:

*To register:*
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you
do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email
list. Participation is free and open to anyone.
