LISNews: Librarian News

Rachel writes \"I\'m looking for contributors to the March issue of the Info Career Trends electronic newsletter, which is focusing on \"jobs, salaries, and raises,\" and the May issue, which is focusing on \"building a career.\"

For March, I\'m particularly looking for people to write on topics such as: unionization, successful efforts to raise salaries in individual libraries, salary and raise negotiation strategies, changing jobs in order to better your salary, and finding and capturing a fairly-paying position.

For May, I\'m looking for people to write on successful career-building strategies - have you written for publication? Followed a successful promotion path in one library? Used conferences and mailing lists to network? Changed jobs to further your career?

Contributor guidelines are available at LISJobs.com . Please send queries to editor@lisjobs.com. More information on the newsletter and archives are available at LISJobs.com .
