So today was the last day for three of my five classes and it was honestly a little sad. I enjoyed my classes this semester and have been very lucky to find I'm going through the MLS program with some amazing people!
That being said, the last class of the evening, 505 (for which this blog was created), featured a panel discussion with several folks currently employed as librarians. I'm very happy to say I'll be working with one of them next semester (Joe Gerken from the law library) and I'm really looking forward to that.
What really struck me about the conversation was the job hunting process. The librarians caution that there can be more than a six month turn around on academic jobs. Doing the math, as a I stated in a previous post, I should start looking now. There are a couple of promising options (jobs at UNLV and Baltimore), but I'm going to save thinking about those for Monday. I still have one more class tomorrow.
In other news, I received the latest Law Library Journal and AALL Spectrum just in time to have time to read them. The last Spectrum had an interesting article on second life which seems like it has potential to be an efficient tool for distance education and perhaps virtual or ereference. Ah, the changing face of your local librarian!
