That reminds me

I haven't mentioned it much here, but in all likelihood I have a little over a year or maybe two left to my current job, because when (and if) the hospital does move near the University of Kentucky, the library and I as librarian will not be going. My job as data entry clerk is in a maybe status, but while it would mean keeping my benefits (which I need terribly), I couldn't live on the data entry salary and would still need to get another job. The ideal thing would be for me to find a library job (preferably full-time) before that happens. So, if you know of a position somewhere within driving distance of Lexington, Kentucky, that could use someone with 16 years of professional experience doing every aspect of library work and with some specialised medical knowledge, please let me know. I check the job list with KDLA fairly regularly, but nothing's really been posted for awhile that is professional level in the area. I'm afraid I'm not inclined to relocate just yet--I have ties here, friends I've known for 15-25 years, people I consider family, as well as my actual blood kin. It can be any library setting; I think I can adapt pretty well. I've been a solo librarian but I've always networked with other librarians and used educational opportunities to stay up to snuff. I'm very comfortable with technology, including social media and mobile technology. I've been known to help patrons at the public library with their Kindles when things were so new the staff there could only take them so far in borrowing Kindle books (they knew their platform, but in order to borrow Kindle books, you need to go to Amazon and do some things, too). I always tried to do it in a nice fashion so I didn't step on any toes, too. I've gotten along with almost everyone I've ever worked with, and can deal with lots of different kinds of patrons with various information needs. I am trained in cataloguing, and can do so in Dewey, Library of Congress Classification and Subjects, as well as the National Library of Medicine ones. I've had training in archives, worked as an intern in one, been a solo librarian in a hospital setting for many years, worked as a cataloguer for a big library vendor, done web design for our local PBS website, and I've had various jobs doing librarian stuff both as a student and later. You can view my résumé here. I've published quite a bit, mostly book reviews and selecting, but a couple of book chapters or so, too, as well as a finding aid. Keep me in mind if something comes up, and feel free to e-mail me or comment on my blog with any suggestions you have for positions that might be a good fit. Thanks!
