Hi,
I maintain a web site for my school library. On one page I have some links
to some job sites that I have found on the web. The address of the page is
http://www.libertynet.org/~bertland/books.html
http://carousel.lis.uiuc.edu/~jobs/
This is the Univ. of Ill. library job list, but it references other
listings. Carol Sturz, Batavia M.S., Batavia, IL
I recently searched for on-line job sources. Most are for all types of
librarians, inclu. school.
Am forwarding a couple to you.
4.2 LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE PLACEMENT SERVICE
telnet host: carousel.lis.uiuc.edu
login: jobs
password: none
URL: telnet://carousel.lis.uiuc.edu
login: jobs
password: none
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign provides an excellent
source of online employment listings for both recent library studies
graduates and seasoned professionals. The special strengths of the
Illinois system are the flexible nature of its search options and the
comprehensive nature of the postings included (even relevant work outside
traditional library settings is included). Job seekers have the option of
searching on one or a variety of criteria including geographic location
desired; nature of position sought; level of prior experience required;
and, even salary range. Frequent users will find that they also have the
ability to view only the most recent additions to the Illinois list.
The Illinois list is compiled from information supplied directly to the
institution. Updates to the list are made frequently, with the time and
date of last update clearly indicated on the first screen of the service.
Compilers estimate that approximately 180 new positions are listed
monthly. While a number of online services exist to supply employment
information to members of the library community, serious job seekers would
do well to visit the Illinois site first.
For additional source information in the library field, see J. Lee's guide
to library jobs listed in the appendix.

2.3 JOBTRAK
URL: http://www.jobtrak.com/
JobTrak deserves a very strong recommendation for recent grads and
alums looking for easily accessible and frequently updated job postings from
their campus career office. JobTrak has stepped in to fill the role played by
traditional print based college placement bulletins but has enhanced that
sservice in several important ways. With daily updates of over 600 positions
to its entire database and the ability to serve the off campus job search
needs of recent grads and alums, JobTrak offers immediacy and access that
is hard to beat. Even better, JobTrak allows employers to target which
schools they wish to post announcements to, thus narrowing the field of
competition for individual job seekers significantly.
While there is no charge involved in searching JobTrak postings, access is
limited to students and alumni of those schools participating in the service
(don't worry, most schools are listed). JobTrak offers links to additional
sites of interest: handouts and job search tips from several college
placement offices are available for free, but links to resume services,
assessment opportunities, and other similar sites may involve fees. While
these links may have merit, students and alums should be mindful of the free
services frequently available at their college career office or local public
library.
JobTrak postings represent a rich cross section of employment
opportunities: business opportunities with major corporations are
particularly well represented here. Those who have traditionally used their
college placement bulletins to look for K-12 teaching jobs will want to
consider additional sources: so far most school systems have balked at
paying the fees necessary to post jobs with this service. Many placement
offices are responding to this issue by continuing--for the meantime--to
prepare print based bulletins for those seeking teaching jobs. That said,
JobTrak is destined to quickly become the starting point of choice for work
bound college grads.
2.4 ONLINE CAREER CENTER (OCC)
gopher host: occ.com
select: \ Online Career Center
URL: http://www.occ.com/occ/
Another hands down first choice is the Online Career Center, a non-profit
employer association. Job opportunities included favor high tech
positions though real opportunities exist in other fields as well. Users
can submit ASCII (plain text) versions of their resume at no charge, to be
maintained at OCC for 90 days. All attendant fees are paid by OCC member
employers, who pay annually to post their openings with the service. Job
seekers can search OCC's list of job openings by job title, keyword,
company name, or by geographical region. Unlike other similar services,
OCC doesn't belie any geographic bias: they really do hire for positions
across the entire U.S. and abroad.
3.3 JOBS AT SPECIFIC COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
Numerous colleges and universities in the U.S., and increasingly the
world, have their job postings available on the Internet. Each
institution's postings may vary in its organization, scope, and
timeliness. There are several places on the Net that collect lists of
these sites, including:

3.4 UNIV. MINNESOTA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION'S JOB-SEARCH BULLETIN
BOARD
gopher host: rodent.cis.umn.edu 11119
URL: gopher://rodent.cis.umn.edu:11119/
This "bulletin board" pulls together hundreds of brief job postings
focused on the K-12 educational field. Categories include administration,
media specialty, psychology, and counseling; early childhood development
and elementary education; higher education; and secondary, special,
vo-tech education, and phys-ed. Because of this organization, the system
is easy to browse by specialty. A search capability allows more
flexibility and enables the job hunter to focus quickly on potential
positions.
This Internet resource is an outgrowth of the College's printed bulletin,
updated weekly. While the organizers accept job postings from anywhere in
the world, the vacancies listed are almost all in the United States. A
few quirks of the system bear mentioning: the "higher education" section
includes a large number of high-school related entries, in addition to the
expected college/university postings. Some specific postings are titled
only "Vacancies", requiring the job hunter to sift through more material
than might otherwise be necessary.
1. Educator's Job Corner
This directory is a great place for teachers who want to explore
professional opportunities. It houses an archive of items posted to the
American Educational Research Association (AERA) mailing list, plus
pointers to other Net job listings for teachers.
Gopher to: gopher.inform.umd.edu
Follow the path:

->Academic resources by topic

2. The following information was taken from The Clearinghouse for
Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides at the University of
Michigan (directions for accessing the guides are attached):
== 2. Best of the Best ==============================================
On the Net, two resources tower above the rest in terms of breadth,
number of job postings, effective organization, timeliness, and ease of
use. We've listed them in a class by themselves, because they span so
many of our more specific categories. Start with these in your job
search.
2.1 THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION
gopher host: chronicle.merit.edu
select: \ job openings
URL: http://chronicle.merit.edu/.ads/.links.html
The Chronicle lists over 700 current positions in higher education and
related fields, and includes broad categories of faculty and research
openings, administrative and executive positions, and positions outside
of academe. These categories are further organized into numerous
specific areas for easy browsing. The entire list is searchable by
keyword, and the search can be restricted to the Northeast U.S., the
South, West, Midwest, or to jobs outside the U.S.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, published since 1966, is the premier
news magazine in the higher education field; it is published
approximately every two weeks. The online version includes excerpts and
summaries of articles appearing in the print copy, and complete listings
of its job postings which are paid advertisements. Only the current
issue is available online.
2.2 ONLINE CAREER CENTER (OCC)
gopher host: msen.com
URL: http://nero.aa.msen.com/
Another hands down first choice is the Online Career Center operated by
MSEN, a non-profit employer association located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Job opportunities included favor high tech positions though real
opportunities exist in other fields as well. Users can submit ASCII
(plain text) versions of their resume at no charge, to be maintained at
MSEN for 90 days. All attendant fees are paid by MSEN member employers,
who pay annually to post their openings with the service. Job seekers
can search MSEN's list of job openings by job title, keyword, company
name, or by geographical region. Unlike other similar services, MSEN
doesn't belie any geographic bias: they really do hire for positions
across the entire U.S. and abroad.
== 3. Best Bets in Education & Academe ==============================
As good as it is in education, the Chronicle (2.1) isn't the only
resource out there. Here are a few more gems.
3.1 ACADEMIC POSITION NETWORK
gopher host: wcni.cis.umn.edu 11111
URL: gopher://wcni.cis.umn.edu:11111/
Job announcements on the APN include faculty, administrative, and staff
positions in higher education, along with graduate assistant and
fellowship positions. The APN's strongest area is in faculty positions.
Job postings come primarily from colleges and universities, but several
research institutions (like Argonne National Laboratory) are members, as
are a few businesses. As of October 1994, the APN listed 187 jobs from
92 institutions.
The positions are easily browsable by state or country. Most of the
jobs are in the U.S., but Canada and Australia have some current
postings. The full text of each posting is searchable, so one can
search by job title or any keyword. The service is run by a non-profit
collaborative involved with education, science and technology, which
charges a one-time fee to listing institutions; there is no fee for
those seeking positions.
3.2 UNIV. MINNESOTA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION'S JOB-SEARCH BULLETIN BOARD
gopher host: rodent.cis.umn.edu 11119
URL: gopher://rodent.cis.umn.edu:11119/
This "bulletin board" pulls together hundreds of brief job postings
focused on the K-12 educational field. Categories include
administration, media specialty, psychology, and counseling; early
childhood development and elementary education; higher education; and
secondary, special, vo-tech education, and phys.-ed. Because of this
organization, the system is easy to browse by specialty, and a search
capability allows more flexibility and enables the job hunter to focus
quickly on potential positions.
This Internet resource is an outgrowth of the College's printed
bulletin, updated weekly. While the organizers accept job postings from
anywhere in the world, the vacancies listed are almost all in the United
States. A few quirks of the system bear mentioning: the "higher
education" section includes a large number of high-school related
entries, as well as the expected college/university postings. Some
specific postings are titled only "Vacancies", requiring the job hunter
to sift through more material than might otherwise be necessary.
3.3 ACADEMIC PHYSICIAN AND SCIENTIST
gopher host: aps.acad-phy-sci.com
URL: gopher://aps.acad-phy-sci.com/
APS lists over 400 positions in academic medicine, from 126 medical
schools and affiliated teaching hospitals-the largest and most
comprehensive collection of its kind. APS includes administrative
positions, positions in basic science, clinical science, and
opportunities with the Food and Drug Administration. The postings are
easily browsable by specialty, and each section is searchable for
specialty, location, or other keyword.
3.4 JOBS AT SPECIFIC COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
Numerous colleges and universities in the U.S., and increasingly the
world, have their job postings available through the Internet. Each
institution's postings may vary in its organization, scope, and
timeliness. There are several places on the Net that collect lists of
these sites, including:
