A belated but nonetheless sincere thanks to Alexandra at Sandia for the article she forwarded on collecting job listings in one’s RSS aggregator. The Corporate Librarian wants to note for the impressionable fledgling librarians out there that Monster.com is practically useless for finding jobs, as is Careerbuilder. He’s so annoyed with the sites he’s not even linking to them, not even with a nofollow.
Anyway, the Corporate Librarian made it back from Vermont (despite being deluged with 41 inches of snow, or 1.04 meters for the more cosmopolitan of you), and has begun following up on his job leads. He’s also ordered two books on information brokering, as we used to call it back in the day:
- Building & Running a Successful Research Business: A Guide for the Independent Information Professional
- Super Searchers Make It On Their Own: Top Independent Information Professionals Share Their Secrets for Starting and Running a Research Business
Perhaps reviews are in order once the Corporate Librarian gets them. Any information brokers/independent information professionals following the blog with advice for people wanting to go the independent route?
