Check out the new dis­cus­sion forums Rachel Singer Gor­don has started over on LISjobs.

“LISjobs.com, the largest free library career por­tal on the Inter­net, is pleased to announce the launch of its new online com­mu­nity for librar­i­ans. Devoted entirely to career devel­op­ment and job hunt­ing, these forums pro­vide a space for librar­i­ans, LIS stu­dents, library work­ers, and infor­ma­tion pro­fes­sion­als to dis­cuss pro­fes­sional devel­op­ment issues.”

The cur­rent forum top­ics cover LIS schools, jump­start­ing your career, pro­fes­sional devel­op­ment and par­tic­i­pa­tion, talk­ing tenure, pro­fes­sional writ­ing, and work/life balance.

In other news, Amer­i­can Libraries has started its own dis­cus­sion forum based on con­tent from the mag­a­zine and other ALA top­ics, so the LISjobs forums make a nice com­ple­ment. Together, these are two great places to con­nect with your col­leagues. Thanks for pro­vid­ing this ser­vice, Rachel.
