[Genealib] Help..MLIS Student Job Research

[Judy Shappee]

In what geographic area would you be looking for employment?  That makes
a difference.  There is only one genealogy librarian in Arizona.  Our
universities have people in their archives and special collections whose
duties sometimes include locating documents for people doing genealogy.
The LDS libraries "rule" here in genealogy; all of their workers are
volunteers.

Hello!  I'm an MLIS student working on a Job Hunt Research paper and
interested in eventually working as a genealogical librarian.  I'm an
"older" student that has done extensive work on my own family history.
Can someone let me know what the job trends, prospects, desired skills,
abilities or any other information you think relevant  I have found a
few job listings that specifically ask for a "Genealogy Librarian"...how
common is that?

Thank you!!!
Lila
