Academics is also one of the slowest areas to get back to you after you submit your application. I applied for my current job in May and didn’t get an interview until the middle of June and didn’t get the job offer until August.

Inalj.com is a wonderful resource and don’t be afraid to look slightly outside the library field. Skills matter more than the degree and if you can quantify or point to specific examples of those on your resume you should get a good match.

Since it’s academic, if they have any instructional materials such as handouts or lesson plans they’ve created, make sure to list it in your resume. I have mine in a Google Drive folder that I link on my resume. Any experience working with groups or committees is also a plus.

2 of them going this morning at 7am. 2! I swear to God they were competing to see who could be the loudest.

Ah, Microsoft. The “let’s change things so we could say we did something” company. (Also, charge our customers more)

Mine also didn’t like them.

Check and make sure you have all your shoes. My dog pulled my mom’s shoes out of her bag when she was packing and she ended up only having the pair that she was wearing for her entire trip.

Funky clutch I think. It was with the mechanic who insisted nothing was wrong.

Generally, we’ll try and nudge faculty to materials we already have if it’s really cost prohibitive. The problem is when they’re bundled into a collection and can’t be purchased separately as an ebook.

We do but we’re not expected to. It’s part of reducing the costs for students. It’s more of a courtesy thing.

How many of those books are “only” available as ebooks? It’s not that usage has gone down but that availability has decreased because publishers want to charge more, especially in academia.

All of it.

I mean sometimes an author has a terrible book but gets better in the next book. (I think about DiscWorld and the suggestions on where to start.) Though really after 5 books you know what you’re getting into and have no excuse.

I would check his paw pads and see if there’s a burr or something in there. There is surprisingly a lot of things that can get stuck there. Glad you found him!
