Terrific introductory article

Hello everyone. I recently came across an article which should provide you with a fantastic introduction to the difficulties of recruitment in rural libraries. The piece focuses specifically on Canadian libraries, but the issues are just as true for the U.S. as well. I've posted the article to my Clarion Jupiter account. The document is called "Recruitment Introduction". If you have any problems accessing this document, please let me know. Enjoy!

    Great article! It illustrated aspects of recruiting for jobs (all professions, not just library positions) here in Alaska.

    That's a great point. I often dream of escaping to Alaska or Montana and getting away from all the hassle of urban life. Then I think about the job situation... scary.

    I can identify with many points in the article: Long hours, low pay and doing it all. You have to love it and many people are not in a profession for altruistic aspects.
