This page links to placement services, recruitment firms, and employment agencies that specialize in library, information services, and/or records management positions.  Many of these organizations accept resumes and list current job openings. Some require you to register for their services.  Some of the positions may be permanent, others temporary. Some specialize in executive (director/dean-level) searches. Consult the policies of each organization or agency for specifics.  All of these sites are cross-listed in other appropriate categories (by specialty or region) on Library Job Postings.  See also SLA's page for placement and executive searches for more examples, including some that don't have websites.

If you work for an agency and would like to update your listing on this page, please drop me a line.
