The smartie library students at McGill have created a Library Jobs and Internships page for people seeking library work in Canada. LISJobs also has a good list of links to try looking for non-US library jobs.

back to the porn grind
So, back to one of my favorite kind of stories: Adult web site run by University of Washington students apparently uses UW rooms and buildings for backdrops, specifically the Suzzallo library which used to house the library school back when I was there. I can’t find any actual shots that seem to be in the library though. If you can, drop me a line. [lisnews]

requests for patron info under FOIA?
Law student requests patron information at over 85 Michigan libraries under FOIA. Libraries say no, and are supported by Michigan’s privacy laws. Law student/clerk may sue. Interestingly, the head of the firm the law student is clerking at is the Chairman of the Michigan Federation of Young Republicans. And I’m not sure if the law student, Caleb Marker, is the same Michigan Caleb Marker as this one, or maybe this one, but I bet he’s this one.
