Librarianship Recruitment Tidbit

I heard this in an ACRL-WESS Recruitment to the Profession session that I went to Saturday morning. ALA will be launching a recruitment site on the domain LibraryCareers.org (not yet live) in the near future to encourage people to consider a career in librarianship. There are PLA Recruitment of Public Librarians meeting minutes from November 2004 that support this. I’m guessing that with business meetings like the ACRL-WESS meeting to discuss the recruitment site’s content, and the PLA initiative, more divisions are actively assessing their recruitment materials and methods to supplement and support the ALA recruitment effort.
