| Health Reference Librarian--where to find one |
[11 Jun 2007|04:23pm] |
|
Hello. I live in Texas. Does anyone know of medical library community or a reference librarian community? On LJ or somewhere else I can post? I can't find one myself on LJ. I have to interview a health reference librarian for a paper that that's due next Wednesday (not this Wed but the next one) for my LS class. The class started last Wed and I was unable to find one where I live and the prof finally okayed doing it by email today. At this time, work won't let me off to conduct one in person in another town. I would like to find an interviewee in North Texas (I live in Denton) if possible; however anywhere in-state or out-of-state is fine. If there's a health reference librarian here willing to do that would be great! Or if you know of someone who might be interviewed. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I am attempting to fill a part time summer job (20hr/week, $12/hr, flexible hours) at an academic library in Houston doing web maintenance and design for my library's web site (and the potential for a bit of general office computer troubleshooting), and nobody who is qualified for the job has applied. This is driving me crazy, because I really need someone in this position, and unless I fill it soon, the Powers That Be may decide I don't really need it and take away the funding for it. The job is officially a summer-only position, but there is the possibility of it continuing past the summer. I thought I'd post the job here in case anyone is interested in applying. I want to note that hard-core computer geekiness is not required for this position, but web design experience and/or training of some variety is. Here is the position description:
Applicants for this position must be familiar with DreamWeaver, as this position will be required to perform web design and web maintenance tasks. Familiarity with CSS and/or Java a plus, but not required. Applicants will also be expected to have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows, the latest versions of popular Web browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Firefox), and the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), as well as be able to troubleshoot minor hardware and software problems in the library. Other responsibilities may include general maintenance of the library's computer equipment to ensure its reliable functioning. This can include cleaning mouse, keyboards, and monitor screens, as well as monitoring and installing software updates. Applicants should type at least 40wpm, and be polite, punctual and reliable. Familiarity with libraries a plus.
If you are interested in this job, please e-mail me as soon as possible at byrd_sweet(at)yahoo(dot)com. I will be happy to answer questions or take resumes at that email address. Library students in particular might find this to be an attractive position because of the flexible scheduling and library experience.

Any North Texas alums out there going to the Alumni dinner tonight (Thursday) at TLA?
If so, I would love to rent your cap, gown, and (especially) hood. I'm about 5'9".
I won't be able to check LJ the rest of the day, so just bring it and we'll talk!

What should I wear to TLA? Could I get away with jeans with a nice shirt? And where the heck can I find a Hawaiian shirt?

Susan Cooper will be at the Texas Library Association Annual Conference!
I checked out her "The Dark is Rising" series from a branch of the Phoenix Public Library, I THINK after seeing her on the old TV Show "What's My Line."

| TLA 2006 Conference |
[21 Feb 2006|10:53am] |
FYI, early-bird registration (online, members only) ends Wednesday, Feb. 22.
Also, does anybody know anything about TLA's Special Libraries division? According to the (online) conference program, they're sponsoring a pre-conference, but I can't find any scheduled meeting for the group. I was really hoping to meet some other special library people.

"...Miriam Rodriguez, assistant director of the library, confirmed to me that when Nahidmobarekeh began to appear in news accounts about the Fiesta incident last year, library staffers recognized him as the same man they had dealt with three years earlier. In February, March and early April of 2002, the downtown Central Library suffered a spate of feces-smearing incidents, of which I have acquired official records through a request under the Texas Public Information Act...."

| Need $$ advice |
[06 Jan 2006|10:30am] |

Hi everyone,
I (urgently) need to come up with a salary range for a solo librarian in a small non-profit organization in Houston.
I have some "librarian" salary information. I have some non-profit salary information. What I don't have is information for a librarian who is employed by a non-profit.
The 2005 SLA salary survey might have the information I need, but I can't tell and don't want to buy the whole thing just for one bit of information.
I suspect I'll have to defend the number I come up with, so I'm just looking to cover all my bases. Any advice on how to determine a salary is appreciated.
