Hello to All!
After one day of posting, I was amazed at the number and speed of the
responses. I was asked to post my findings, so to all who would benefit,
here are the four pages of replies I've received today. If anyone needs the
personal addresses of those who sent the messages, please contact me, and
I'll be glad to send them along, but in the attempt to keep this response
smaller in size, I left them out at this time. I hope this is helpful!
Truly,
Michele M. Petrosky, Librarian
Western Wayne Middle School

www.njhire.com posts listings for school openings in NJ. You can narrow the
search for library positions - I think it is in the administrative section -
but check it out! If you are in eastern PA you might even find something
close enough to home.

Michele -
I do not think there is one job bank with all of the school library positions
in PA, but here are some places to look for openings:
PA Dept. of Education (click on teaching, then job
vacancies)www.pde.state.pa.us
PSLA has some links from their web site:
http://www.psla.org/recruitment/employ.php3
Also, if you attend the PSLA conference in the spring, some schools post
their openings on a bulletin board at the conference.
School library media postings:
http://www.libraryjobpostings.org/libmedia.htm
General library job openings:
LIB JOBS Listserv: http://www.nasig.org/jobs/libjobs.html
School apps:
http://www.schoolapps.net/
Some PA library schools may know about job openings. Clarion University has
some posted at their web site:
http://www.clarion.edu/edu-humn/newlibsci/jobs/html/school.htm
Adquest (jobs in general):
www.adquest.com
Allows you to search for job openings within a certain radius of a zip code
you specify. Can be searched by keyword (ex - school librarian, media
specialist, etc.).
Finally, if you search the LM_NET archives
(http://ericir.syr.edu/plweb-cgi/fastweb?search), you'll find a several hits
for job searching.

I run a jobs web site for Mass. school lms:
http://www.mslma.org/newsjobsnotes/jobs.html
I used to work in Susquehanna County (Mountain View SD) and I think that
there might be an opening at Blue Ridge (if there hasn't been yet)
I found the job listings in the psea.org, or the state department of ed not
to be as helpful as networking.
Are you working as a librarian now? Maybe you could meet up with some people
at your next ACCESS PA meeting. Or, did you ask the IU guys who fix your
equipment? They really know who's leaving etc.
Another place might be the Scranton SD.

Job Opening
Middle and Upper School Librarian
Anglo-American School of Moscow
Russia
The Anglo-American School of Moscow seeks a Middle School/Upper School
Librarian to serve this fast-growing international school. In August
2000,
the school moved into brand new, state-of-the-art facilities and the
library
is an important part of the life of the school. Well-resourced and
equipped
with the latest in technology, the MS/UpS library serves over 400
students
and 75 faculty members. AAS seeks a librarian who will work with
students
and faculty to inspire a love of books and other media; who will assist
students with their research, using both print as well as electronic
resources; integrating information literacy into the curriculum through
collaboration with classroom teachers; who will maintain an efficient
system, including the on-line catalog (SIRS-Mandarin); and who will
reach
out to the broader community through programs designed to encourage
reading.
Successful candidates will have a background in school or
public
libraries and will have an MLS from an ALA-approved library program.
AAS
offers a highly competitive salary and benefit package which included
tax-free salary, medical insurance, retirement, furnished housing,
travel
allowance, and professional development. Applicants should send cover
letter with resume and references to: director@aas.ru
<mailto:director@aas.ru>.Michele, you're on one now... many jobs are
advertised here. Other
places to look are on the school library association websites. You
can find some of them on the LMNET website at
<http://ericir.syr.edu/lm_net/>. A Google search will probably turn
up the rest.
***************************************************
Dear Michele,
You might want to look for websites of the various state library media
specialist organizations. The one here in Virginia is called VEMA and they
post openings on their site. Good luck!
********************************************************
This one does sometimes, but not specifically school openings. Good luck!
http://www.unt.edu/slis/resources/jobs.htm
******************************************************
some schools advertise on the state site www.pde.state.pa.us - others have
their own district sites then there are the job sites that cover a larger
area
also newspapers from major cities - many of which are online
there is a shortage of librarians in the state at the present time - there
are always ads at spring conference

Association Conference)
Michele,
Check out Clarion University's site,
www.clarion.edu/libsci then click Placement, then
Library and Information Science Position Listings or
Other Library and Information Science Job Links.

You may wish to start with http://www.pareap.net. It allows you to fill in
an electronic application that would be available to all school boards in PA.
The school boards also have the opportunity to post job openings so that you
can check and apply on line. There are several other states who paticipate
in this program, including OH and NY,
Another source that I have found to be excellent for leads (I have been up
and down the east coast this year looking for a job I really want where I am
really wanted.) is http://www.educationamerica.net/. This site will allow
you to set-up a job-bot that will send you daily emails of job openings.
Several Connecticut jobs that have not been listed in either the newspaper or
www.ctreap.net, have shown up here.
San Antonio, Texas area usually has openings for librarians. Three huge
districts plus several other smaller districts within the metropolitan area.
********************************************************
Michelle, have you tried the PSBA site? They post openings for all
positions...and probably your principal or superintendent has a printed copy
available as well. http://www.psba.org > Employment opportunities > Other
professional education vacancies
You can also try http://www.teaching.state.pa.us/teaching/cwp/view.asp?a=13&;
Q=32441&g=140&teachingNav=|93|109|&teachingNav=|1904| from the PDE website.
Finally, at least in my old region, your region office of PSEA should have
job vacancy lists available for members of PSEA.
