Highlights of the redesign include:

* Opportunities for sponsorship -- relevant organizations can easily reach an audience of librarians and info pros.

"I'm excited to launch the new and improved LISjobs.com to better serve librarians, library workers, and info pros at all stages of their careers," says webmaster Rachel Singer Gordon. "Stay tuned for more additions and improvements soon!"

Thanks, Joan! It gave me a chance to reorganize and reduce some of the clutter from where the site had grown organically over the years, too :).
