    Looking for new/dream jobs?
    Pondering how to reach out to your network?
    Trying to learn how job search networks operate?
     
    Discover what happens behind the closed doors of a library search committee – and how your professional (and personal) networks can make or break your prospects. Then learn how other librarians navigated the networking maze to land plum positions. With the insider scoop, practical pointers, and the opportunity to connect with new contacts, you’ll be able to put your network to work for you.
