Jobs Page and Learn a Test
When we pulled the plug on Cooler by the Lake a number of libraries asked that we continue to provide a page of links to often requested job search sites. The resulting Job and Career Resources @ your Library page has become out of date and out of place on the old owls domain. We have updated and incorporated the site into a new InfoSoup Job & Career Resources page http://info.infosoup.org/jobs.asp. A link to this page will be on our Research Tools Page below Learn a Test under a new and ever growing heading Language, Test, Study Skills, and Jobs. The old OWLS page will redirect to the new InfoSoup page. One thing to note about the page is that the Wisconsin JobNet site is being replaced by a new JobCenterofWisconsin.com job search. The JobNet site, so I have been told, will go away sometime after February 1, 2009.
Also, it is very likely that NFLS will be subscribing to Learn a Test in 2009. If they do subscribe we will be able to do a much better job of promoting the resource. Learn a Test will also be coming out with a new and much needed redesign of their site. I have seen a preview, and it looks much better. They plan to release the new version at ALA in January and I hope it will be available for us soon after. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about the jobs page or about Learn a Test.
