Info Career Trends - Nov. 2006 Editor's Note
I have all sorts of things to tell you this month, so please bear with me. First, a special deal for ICT readers: Purchase Dennie Heye's Characteristics of the Successful 21st Century Information Professional (reviewed in this issue) by Dec. 31, 2006 to receive a 35% discount on the list price of $59.95. E-mail your order to info@chandospublishing.com with "Info Career Trends" in the subject line. More on the book at Chandos Publishing.
Then, for those of you who are job hunters, I figure that a 21st century job hunter should really use current tools. So, check out this new page of job sites offering RSS feeds at LISjobs.com. Access each individually or import one handy OPML file into your newsreader. Don't know what I'm talking about? Get started with "Bloglines for Librarians in Three (and a half) Easy Steps," then come back to add in these job sites.
Lastly, as I write this, I've just gotten back from the Internet Librarian 2006 conference, definitely the go-to event for 21st century professionals. Read everyone's blog posts, or just enjoy people's photos.
As always, I'm also looking for people to write articles for upcoming issues: March 2007 ("getting involved in the profession") and May 2007 ("building balance"). Upcoming themes and contributor guidelines are at: http://www.lisjobs.com/newsletter/theme.htm, and send your queries to editor@lisjobs.com.
