About the ALA Placement Services

human resource development and recruitment


The American Library Association (ALA) provides Placement Services for job seekers and employers in conjunction with the ALA Midwinter Meeting, Annual Conference, as well as certain divisional national conferences.

The service is available to anyone--not just ALA members or on-site attendees. We generally lists positions available in libraries and/or information management environments.

Although registration takes place on-line, there is an on-site center at each conference where employers and job candidates can meet and conduct interviews. There is no fee for job seekers to use the service. 

If you have questions regarding Placement Service, please contact Beatrice Calvin, Manager of Professional Development, Office for Human Resource Development & Recruitment (HRDR) at bcalvin@ala.org or 800/545-2433 ext. 4280.
