Metro Magnet

The Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) has created the METRO Magnet,  an online career center. The METRO Magnet includes an online job bank and resume bank and an informational web site, which went live on August 1, 2003. Brochures about the service are being mailed to METRO member libraries.  Job seekers, recent graduates and other library professionals wishing to relocate to the METRO area can now post their resumes and search for job announcements. Area librarians can use the site to look for new opportunities and promotions.  The METRO Magnet site includes links to Local Placement Firms, Library Membership Organizations, Accredited LIS Schools and Financial Aid Information.
The METRO Magnet includes a variety of information to promote the advantages of working in a METRO-area library. Main topics include:
            * METRO Magnet Job and Resume Bank: an online database that allows you to post job openings, to search through resumes of job seekers to find job candidates, and to post resumes
            * Working in the METRO Area: a section that includes profiles of librarians and METRO member libraries to give people a feel for the opportunities available here
            * Growing Your Career in the METRO Area: a section that provides an overview of the many opportunities for professional development available in the METRO area through continuing education, METRO special interest groups, and participation in local library organizations
            * Moving to the METRO Area: an introduction to New York City and Westchester County with links to a variety of sites that provide more in-depth information on neighborhoods, finding housing, schools, etc.
            * Resources for job seekers and for employers

This project is supported in part by Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.
