Employment Clearing House

Sponsored by Telesec/Corestaff Library Services

The SLA Employment Clearinghouse is a yearly resume referral service designed to help information professionals increase their awareness of available positions. For employers, the Clearinghouse is an easy and effective method of bringing job openings to the attention of more than 7,000 special librarians and information professionals. The Clearinghouse is a valuable service for all information professionals and employers, whether you are able to attend the conference or not!

If you are attending the conference, the Clearinghouse hosts a private message center where you can reach a job seeker or employer to discuss a position or possible employment. The Clearinghouse has also reserved several rooms at the conference where an employer and an applicant can meet for an interview or to discuss a position privately. The Clearinghouse was extremely busy last year! Many successful matches were made between employers and information specialists.
