Overview

Job Listing Sites and Resources

If you are new to the information profession, or it has been a long time since you conducted a job search, you may want to check out this digital booklet, Landing a Job with an LIS/MLIS Degree - Advice for Job Seekers, packed with job search tips from LAC Group, a library staffing agency.

For general information about librarian wages, trends, and related job titles, see Summary Report for United States.

For public library salary information, see Library Journal’s LJ Placement and Salary Survey for 2022 for fairly recent information on who is getting hired and how much money they are making.

And for a broad range of jobs that may fit the bill even though they may not say “librarian” in the title, start with: the SJSU job board, also known as Handshake.
