In lieu of an original post, I’m stealing an idea from Anne Zelenka and posting a handful of useful and / or interesting links.
A great post by Rachel Singer Gordon, on taking a proactive approach to librarianship as a career. From the post (emphasis mine),

Our institutions are nothing without their people; our profession is built from our multiple and ongoing contributions to the field.

Great tips for keeping your 20-something employees actively engaged and eager to work. I usually hate to pigeonhole people, but the tips are good — and to be fair, I see how these suggestions could apply to employees of any age.

An interesting piece regarding Michael McGrorty’s search for a job with the Los Angeles County Library. The details get into some heady legalese, but it’s still worth a look.
