The blog I’m very, very behind in writing anything for, the SLA-IT Blogging Section blog, has notes by Nicole Engard on a career panel at the annual SLA Conference (which I sorely wish I was attending). One interesting quote from Susan Klopper, which mirrors what I’ve found out here:
If you want to work in a library in a corporation - i would strongly recommend you don’t do that because they don’t exist anymore.
Oh, there are still jobs, but they’re not library jobs for the most part. Read Nicole’s post to learn more.

May 16th I got an email from an acquaintance about a potential job. May 19th we talked on the phone, and a few days after that I sent on a resume, writing sample and references. June 2nd I flew up to meet with him and another person. June 9th I got emailed a more formalized job description, and June 12th I asked for a contract.
Which I received on Friday and mailed signed copies of yesterday.
Three month job, hopefully leading to something permanent. I’ll check exactly what I can and can’t say about it, but it involves both knowledge management and research.

For those of you still looking, College@Home offers over 100 job resources for prospective librarians. Granted, a number of them are oriented towards academic or public library jobs, but even so the list should be useful.
Hopefully I should have some good job news of my own to announce on the blog soon.
