- Educause: New Jobs
- The Educause site is terrific for many reasons but it's a fantastic source for interesting, technology-oriented academic jobs. You can search by region or type of job, but once you're into the job search, you can stop by their new jobs page for the latest updates. It's frequently changing site.

- Chronicle Jobs
- I have never read nor received the Chronicle of Higher Education - my jobs in academia to date have not required it, although I will frequently stop by the site because the content is so good. I have used its job listing for many years as a great source of both the positions available, and to see what types of positions are being created, in universities and non-profits.

- American Library Association Hot Jobs
- American Libraries magazine has regular updates on library jobs in all types of libraries: special, public, academic, and even vendor positions. But who relies on print for jobs any more? American Libraries has created a valuable resource in its online library job posting site. It is still not the definitive library jobs resource - it is still too common to find comparable jobs posted at regional or other specialized sites - but it's one you shouldn't omit from your list.

- College and Research Libraries Jobs
- This is a narrower job slice than those found on the Chronicle.com or ALA.org sites, and yet there remains some jobs that appear only here. Perhaps C&RL readers post here rather than one of the more global sites. But if your goal is to work in an academic environment, keep the C&RL job page on your list.

- Library and Information Technology Jobs
- LITA is a small association with close ties to ALA (can't tell if they're a chapter or something) but which ranks among its members the leaders in library technology. The jobs posted at this site are minimal, and updated about once a week, but they tend to be more cutting edge positions, or in more unusual environments.

- LIS Jobs.com
- This site was a late discovery for me. First, it's easy to use - and if you're a librarian, you already know that LIS is for Library and Information Science - for library job finding. There's an initial index page with the latest postings, as well as the ability to search by state or other keywords.
