Keynote Speaker: Rachel Singer Gordon, webmaster of <a
href="http://lisjobs.com/" target="_blank"><span class=yshortcuts><span
style='color:#0066CC'>LISjobs.com</span></span></a>, the <span
class=yshortcuts>largest library career</span> site and job database, and
consulting editor at <span class=yshortcuts>Information Today</span> Inc.,
Books Division. Rachel’s talk, “Career Building in a Down Economy,” will
help librarians focus on what they can do to keep themselves moving forward professionally
in a down economy. While professional literature discusses what
librarians can do to help their communities and patrons, it does not give much
information as to what librarians can do to help themselves. Rachel will
address the ways in which the economy affects librarians professionally, how to
control reactions and frustration, how to deal proactively with current events,
and how to move forward effectively in <span class=yshortcuts>tough economic
times</span>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
