San Jose SLIS Offers Free Online Career Resources

The San Jose School of Library and Information Science recently launched a career development website, designed to help information professionals be more successful in today’s challenging and rapidly evolving job market.

The free online resource is aimed at helping new Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals, as well as experienced LIS practitioners who want tips and ideas for refining their career pathway.

The site offers insight into a myriad of career opportunities, emerging trends in the field, and effective job search strategies.  Site visitors can learn more about professional networking, interviewing techniques, and resume tips.  They can also browse LIS job listing sites and other career resources specifically for information professionals.

We invite you to visit the site and explore its resources:  http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/resources/career_development/
