Library Playground , which I noticed thanks to a trackback commenting on a previous post here , has a really handy RSS feed of Canadian Library Technician jobs derived from a variety of job posting sites from across the country. There’s also a Facebook app version available (if you’re into that kind of thing).
I’ve just added the feed to my NetVibes account so as to keep an eye on the job market for curiosity’s sake. This could have saved me an awful lot of obsessive bookmark-checking when I was last looking for work, as most of the sites I consulted on a daily basis are included in this mashup.
