Job Search, or, Holy Crap I Graduate in 6 (or 3!) Months

We've updated the job-searching resources on the links page a bit. If you're like us, the reality of impending graduation is looming! And it's never too early to start looking. There are so many resources out there, but rarely are they all in one place. We've gathered some national, regional, and local resources together, but please let us know if you stumble onto anything else. Most of these sites let you create an RSS feed of your searches (i.e., only reference librarian postings in the midwest), so look around. If you're saying, "you know, I've heard of this RSS thing but I don't know how to actually use it," or if you're completely lost in the sea of online searching, contact your trusty Webmaster at pittscala@gmail.com. We're planning at least one event to bring alumni in to talk about their own job searching experiences, but maybe a little workshop is in order. What do you think?

RSS Feed is Fixed!

If you've tried to subscribe to the RSS feed before, you got an error message. It should be working now, so subscribe away!

Let the good times roll

Hey Cool Kids of the Pitt MLIS Program!

Classes wearing you down? Stress levels bursting? Feeling a bit of disconnect from fellow human beings?

SCALA wants to put a stop to all that nonsense (or, at the very least, provide you with opportunities to forget about them for a couple hours).

We are forming a social committee that will organize fun outings: karaoke, bowling, miniature golf, movie nights, etc...

So we'd like to ask you, fellow students: What would you be interested in doing?

Post your ideas here!
(Anyone can post on the comments section; to post to the SCALA blog, you need a Gmail account)
