• Annoyed Librarian : Okay, the AL (as she is affectionately known) isn’t solely focused on jobs, and when she does write on the topic it is usually scathingly negative (see “Come to Library School! Just Don’t Expect a Job!” athttp://blog.libraryjournal.com/annoyedlibrarian/2009/10/21/come-to-library-school-just-dont-expect-a-job. However, it’s important to be aware of all aspects of the library job market, even the negative, and the AL’s style makes swallowing the bad news just ever so slightly better. The comments are a worthy distraction as well.
