In the first segment:
South Carolina is still dealing with the ramifications of a month-long cyber incursion at their Department of Revenue last fall that saw millions of of citizens' banking information, social security numbers and other vital information stolen, costing the state $20 million so far.
Texas also has security holes. In a report to the state Department of Information Resources, the state's Cybersecurity, Education, and Economic Development Council presented a number of recommendations to improve the state's cyber infrastructure.
Under certain circumstances, people convicted of felony offenses can currently use self-defense as the justification for shooting someone, but that could soon change.
A bill authored by Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville, would prohibit convicted felons from being able use such a defense in court.
UTSA on Monday announced it is raising the goal for the university's capital campaign.
UTSA launched its Top-Tier Campaign a year ago with a goal of raising $120 million. To date, the campaign has provided funding for 35 new scholarships, 26 new endowed faculty positions, and nine new research centers.
The campaign hit its target last month, or in about one-third the time the school had allotted.
Texas is included in five of 28 restoration projects across the Gulf of Mexico under a conditional agreement between BP and Natural Resource Damage Assessment trustees.
Texas Parks and Wildlife spokesman Tom Harvey said although the Texas coast was less visibly impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Texas wildlife was affected.
Peter Sagal rides a motorcycle for freedom...sort of. Sagal, host of "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me," has a new project that has him sporting a red, white and blue motorcycle and digging into the Constitution.
From scholars and school teachers to the average Joe, Sagal is interested in finding out why the constitution still matters, how it works and how it doesn't work.
This week the Detroit Symphony Orchestra performs two different programs at Carnegie Hall. Leonard Slatkin, their music director, is happy to be part of the Spring For Music festival. "More than any composer I can think of, you span not only his musical growth, but literally the coming of age of American music with these four [Ives] symphonies."
KPAC will air Detroit's Spring For Music concerts on Saturday & Sunday, May 18th and 19th at 7pm on KPAC & KTXI.
After several legislative strategies, a bill that would set up the first Texas needle exchange dies on the House floor.
There were multiple attempts to revive the bill, which was authored by Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon, D-San Antonio, and would've set up a pilot needle exchange program for IV drug users.
Lawmakers came out of "O.K. Corral Day" sending a clear message as over 95 percent of all gun bills heard during House's first working Saturday were approved.
An excavation at Brackenridge Park has unearthed irrigation systems built to serve the first settlers of San Antonio.
The find offers opportunities to study indigenous peoples and provides fuel for the UNESCO consideration of the San Antonio Missions as a World Heritage Site.
Archaeologists have long been aware of the existence of the 300-year-old irrigation systems, and even had maps and data from Spanish engineers who documented their work.
Lawmakers managed to postpone a high-stakes testing bill on the first Friday the Senate has worked this session.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said it was an agreement in principle that the Senate would take up and pass a House bill being carried by Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, which reduces the number of end-of-course exams from 15 to five.
"But apparently a number of members - principally Democrat, but some Republicans - had not been in the meeting and felt like they had not been briefed enough. And I understand that, I understand that," Patrick said.

ESP electric guitars and basses combine edgy looks with exceptional design—one that's sure to keep you inspired for years to come. Countless artists endorse their exquisite guitars and basses including Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield of Metallica, George Lynch of Dokken, Will Adler from Lamb of God, Ron Wood from The Rolling Stones, and Stephen Carpenter of Deftones, just to name a few.
Electric Sound Products began in the mid-1970s manufacturing high-end replacement parts for guitars under the direction of founder Hisatake Shibuya. Soon after, the Japan-based company started crafting guitars and brought their musical instruments to the U.S. in the early 1980s. ESP made custom guitars for New York-based musicians and were soon "discovered" by other professional rock and heavy metal artists, many of whom are loyal to the brand to this day. Read More>

The NC State Wolfpack had an up-and-down season in 2012, finishing the season at 7-5 but losing to Vanderbilt in the Music City Bowl. NC State lost to Virginia and North Carolina, but got its highlight win of the season on October 6, incredibly defeating #3 Florida State at home. The team was not without its individual stars, though, like quarterback Mike Glennon. Glennon was one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL Draft, taken at #73 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While NC State scored just the 71st most points per game in the country, they had the 18th most passing yards per game. This means replacing Glennon is a huge key to NC State's season and 2013 could be a season spent searching for that replacement. A new quarterback won't come from the recruiting class, where the Wolfpack have so far failed to bring in a quarterback and only have one four-star recruit (compared to 15 for Clemson and 13 for Florida State), cornerback Sean Paul. Without the football prowess that other ACC teams like Miami, FSU, and Clemson have, NC State is at a natural disadvantage when it comes to recruiting. However, the development of Glennon shows this team's potential, and the next overlooked star could rise from the depths this season. An early test on the schedule comes September 19 at home against Clemson, but games against East Carolina, Central Michigan, and Richmond should help NC State become bowl-eligible.
The North Carolina State Wolfpack plays at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina, not far from campus. They are a member of the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and have taken 11 conference titles, participating in 25 bowl games. Carter-Finley has the smallest clearance between the stands and sidelines of any team in the ACC, creating an intimate environment even with a capacity of 60,000. While their only double-digit win season remains 2002, the Wolfpack have made nine bowl appearances since 2000 and have suited up some future NFL stars like San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. The upstart Wolfpack have room for improvement, but a major opportunity to mess with the big boys in the ACC. Don't miss out with Gold Coast Tickets!

Johnson Collection
Important Update July 2011 - At the present time access to this collection is closed to allow for preparation of stock in readiness for the move to the new Library of Birmingham in 2013. Find out more about the changes in Central Library
The Johnson Collection was formed to celebrate the association of Dr Samuel Johnson with Birmingham and now numbers about 2000 volumes of works by Johnson and books and periodicals about him. It includes almost all the first editions, such as the Dictionary, 1755, as well as a good range of later editions and critical works from the 18th century to the present date.
Since the foundation of Birmingham Reference Library a particular interest has been taken in Samuel Johnson, who had close links with Birmingham during his early career. The collection of Johnsoniana has a history of steady growth from the 1860s to the present. In 1886 it was already large enough to have a separate heading in the library catalogue and it is now one of the most comprehensive Johnson collections in Europe, containing about 2,000 items.
Johnson's connection with Birmingham is of considerable interest. His mother was born in Kings Norton and married Martin Johnson, a bookseller in Lichfield where Samuel Johnson was born in 1709 and brought up. He often visited his godfather, Dr Swyfen, in Birmingham, and came to live here himself from 1732 to 1735 at the house of his friend the bookseller Thomas Warren in High Street. During this time he met his future wife, Elizabeth Porter, and his first original essays appeared, in Warren's Birmingham Journal.
During his stay in Birmingham, Johnson was working on his first book, a condensation and translation of Father Lobo's Voyage to Abyssinia. It was not published until he had left Birmingham for London, but was printed in Birmingham for his friend, Thomas Warren. The library is fortunate enough to possess a copy.
Johnson made a brief return to Lichfield in 1736 when he founded a school nearby. The future actor David Garrick was among his pupils, and remained a lifelong friend, but Johnson was not a successful schoolmaster, and, perhaps fortunately for his future literary career, the school failed. Although he continued to visit Birmingham at intervals, Johnson's life from then on was centred on London.
The Central Library has an almost complete collection of first editions of Johnson's works, including a copy of Irene, the tragedy with which he first attempted to make his name in London in 1737. This failed to interest the London theatre managers and was not published until 1749. Much of his early work appeared anonymously in the Gentleman's Magazine, of which the Library has a complete set and it was the proprietor, Edward Cave, who arranged publication of Johnson's first great success, the poem London. The Library has the second edition of this rare work, which was published anonymously and only earned the needy author £10 for the copyright. We have, however, a first edition of Johnson's next success, the life of his friend the poet Richard Savage, published in 1744.
Johnson's Dictionary, the work, which established his reputation, was first planned two years later. This monumental and scholarly task engaged him and his assistants until 1755. The Library has the first edition, 1755, in two large folio volumes, the scarce original Plan and numerous later editions, large and small including the Rev. H J Todd's revised edition of 1818, a version which remained popular throughout the nineteenth century.
While working on the Dictionary, Johnson produced The Vanity of Human Wishes, 1749, in imitation of the tenth satire of Juvenal, a work, which reflects in its despondency the considerable personal and financial difficulties under which Johnson was living at the time. This was the first work, which bore Johnson's name on the title page. Johnson's two collections of occasional essays, The Rambler (1750-52) and The Idler (1756-60) followed. The Library has not only the original issues in parts but also the first collected edition of The Rambler, and the first collected edition of The Idler.
Johnson next work was the very popular novel The Prince of Abissinia (sic) or Rasselas, written in a week, and published in 1759, allegedly to pay the expenses of his mother's funeral. The Library has all the first five editions of this work, and many others.
The work, which after the Dictionary consolidated Johnson reputation with his contemporaries, was his edition of Shakespeare. Johnson began work on this in 1756 but found it hard to sustain his interest. He worked on it intermittently until 1765 when his edition was finally published. Johnson's notes to the text are somewhat pedestrian, a sign of his flagging interest, but the preface is still considered an important piece of criticism. The Library has the rare Proposals for the project (1756) and the first and many later editions.
Perhaps the most interesting of Johnson's works to the modern reader is his Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland, 1775, a vivid account of his remarkably intrepid journey, undertaken at the age of sixty-four and in poor health, over rough country, in indifferent weather. The Journey records a way of life that was vanishing from the Highlands with the repression of the clan system after the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie, and includes Johnson's account of his meeting with Flora Macdonald. Of equal interest is his companion James Boswell's account of the journey, told in his Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, in which he records in fascinating detail all his hero Dr. Johnson did and all his noteworthy remarks. The Library has the first and later editions of both these works.
The Library also has the first and many other editions of Boswell's much admired Life of Dr. Johnson, 1791, together with the accounts of Johnson by his rival biographer, Mrs Thrale, the wife of Henry Thrale of Streatham, at whose house Johnson largely lived between 1765 and 1783, when his friendship broke up over Mrs Thrale's re-marriage on her husband's death. Johnson himself died a year later.
There are in the collection a number of other biographies, and of particular interest are the collections of Johnson's sayings and of anecdotes about him, for his reputation among his contemporaries rested at least as much on the wit and brilliance of his conversation as on his published work.
In addition to this extensive collection of Johnson's works and of early Johnsoniana, the Library maintains a collection of modern criticisms.
An appointment is necessary to see the 18th century and certain private press editions.
The collection is available for reference only.

Subject line is a little unclear- what I mean is why do we continue to read posts mentioning the importance of crop factor in reach for distant subjects? The explanation that crop factor is irrelevant and that it is in fact pixel size, pitch or density which is the relevant metric, is often given by Roger et al. but it seems to need repeating. This is not just a BPN phenomenon, it's all over the web.
There are several reasons and I'm sure the fact that a crop factor camera trims off the edges of the image (in relation to FF) and makes the subject appear relatively bigger in the frame must be compelling, however, I think there is another reason, illustrated in the attached image.
I took sensor data published on his Roger's web site or elsewhere and picked some current DSLR camera models and a modern point 'n shoot (PNS) as an outlier. The graph shows pixel size (pixel area or pixel pitch squared) against sensor size (sensor area or crop factor) and illustrates a simple relationship I had suspected for some time. As sensor size increases pixel size increases, in other words in modern cameras, larger sensors tend to be sampled more coarsely than smaller sensors. Coarsely sampled sensors provide less reach than finely sampled sensors but because of the positive relationship between pixel size and sensor size, the two variables get confused and reach is assumed in error to be determined by sensor size.
The line on the graph is fitted to the points from sensors smaller than FF and shows that the D4 is right where is "should" be but that the new D800 is way off the trend as are most of the newer FF cameras. I guess the D3x was way ahead of its time!

Dab, Common – Iceland
Common Dab is a small species of flatfish that grows fast and becomes sexually mature within four years. Dab is found on shallow, sandy bottoms throughout the Northeast Atlantic, and in Iceland they are found all around the country.
Common Dab is mostly caught with Danish seines in Icelandic waters, which cause little to moderate damage to the seafloor. In Iceland, catches peaked at 8,000 tons in the mid 1990s but have declined sharply over the past decade to under 1,000 tons, indicating low abundance. In response to this decline, management has restricted the amount of Common Dab that can be landed so that the total commercial catch does not exceed the number of Dab that are taken as bycatch in other fisheries.

Ari Daniel Shapiro produces the Ocean Gazing podcast for COSEE NOW.
Born in the South Euclidean burbs of Cleveland, Ohio, independent producer Ari Daniel Shapiro gravitated toward science and the natural world at an early age. He was brewed in a brine of educators: His grandmother taught nursery school and filled her life with children, his dad is an elementary school teacher, and his mom creatively integrates technology and media into higher education. Shapiro's AP biology teacher in high school set his science interests aflame, and so he studied biology as an undergrad at Boston College.
Shapiro's first academic encounter with whales came after his junior year as a summer student fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). He helped out on a project involving killer whale calling behavior, and he was hooked on marine mammals. He got a master's degree at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland by training grey seals pups. And he got a Ph.D. from MIT and WHOI, with his advisor Peter Tyack, by traveling north of the Arctic Circle in Norway to explore killer whale communication and behavior.
In between those degrees, Shapiro did a program called AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps, and worked as a legal advocate in New York City for people on welfare and that were precariously housed. Social and environmental justice had always been important to him, but this time in New York really made him want to do more in the world.
After earning his Ph.D., Shapiro turned to the land of radio and multimedia to tell stories about science. He knew the audio software from his work with whales, except now he actually understood what his subjects were saying. These days, Shapiro produces pieces about science for public radio programs that air nationally, for academic and research institutions, and for nonprofit organization (see his website). He's jazzed about using storytelling to encourage science literacy across all ages. His pieces have appeared on NPR, Radio Lab and The World.
Shapiro lives in Somerville, Mass. in an apartment historically housing some of his dearest friends and family.

Resort 2013: Oscar de la Renta
Getty Images View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Oscar de la Renta
With an expanding troupe of young designers chasing the edgier, under-30 set, it's a refreshing change to see the hip crowd tempted with something other than a slouchy tee and leather what have you. This season, Oscar de la Renta did more than tempt with his Resort 2013 runway show, gently infusing a street-chic angle into his ladylike ethos—something the designer has been flirting with for a few seasons now. Sure, there were Oscar trademarks in spades: embellished evening gowns, tweed lace skirt suits, and demure floral sheaths. But the designer balanced his Park Avenue fare with punky gingham pantsuits, if-you've-got-it-flaunt-it shorties, taffeta button-downs peeking out underneath lace knits, and neon hair streaks—all in a successful attempt to nudge his lunching ladies across the uptown-downtown divide. While this may seem like an eclectic grab bag of trends du moment, de la Renta unified the 57-look lineup with a vibrant color palette consisting of pacific blue, carnation, evergreen, and the classic black and white combo. Overall the collection seemed like a crowd-pleaser for buyers and editors alike, but it was the sequined baseball shirt that gave everyone something to really talk about. Following the show, the sparkly topper popped up on Pinterest rival TheFancy.com with pre-orders priced at $2,490.

Laboratory workstations come in a selection of configurations. Features like chemical-resistant surfaces, strict adherence to inflammability codes and low-maintenance materials make them highly safe. From eye-wash stations to instructors' desks, your department will get an "A" for professionalism with lab stations from Hertz Furniture.
Depending on the arrangement of your space and the sizes of classes, you can choose from a selection of two- and four-student workstations. Both of these setups are conducive to working with lab partners. The four-student arrangement provides the additional possibility of working in a larger group of four when supplies are limited or the experiment requires larger groups to work together. Two-student models are forward facing, which is conducive to frontal instruction and demonstrations as well as independent experimentation. The four-student option comes in a number of arrangements including forward-facing and octagonal.
The configuration of laboratory workstations varies as well. Freestanding islands can fit anywhere in the classroom. They are a great option if you have a large open space because they make it easy for students to observe their own experiments from all angles. Perimeter workstations utilize wall space so the middle of the room is more open. To fit the maximum amount of workstations in your science lab, you may choose a combination of freestanding and perimeter units.
A critical feature of any counter or table in a science lab is the work surface material. Because experiments involving chemicals and heat are constantly being conducted, it is essential that the surface and sink material will not become easily damaged by extreme conditions. Heat- and chemical-resistant tops come in varying degrees of strength, so it is important to pay close attention to which materials are available when making a purchase for your science lab.
Built-in storage is a great extra feature to have in your lab workstations. Each unit can be kept fully-stocked to ensure that every pair of lab partners can find what they need for experiments. Storage comes in a number of different styles including book boxes, drawers and cabinets. Cabinets are good for larger items such as microscopes, while drawers are helpful for organizing smaller accessories such as pipettes and tweezers.
There are many extra pieces of lab furniture that can greatly enhance the experience of both teachers and students. Mobile demonstration centers can be moved around the room to ensure that all students have a good view, no matter where they are sitting or standing. They enable instructors to model correct experimentation methods while providing instructions or explanations using the attached whiteboard.
Mobile fume hoods offer an additional option for experiment demonstration. They enable students to observe physical changes while remaining protected from fumes and chemicals. They can be transported around the room to ensure that everyone gets a good view, or moved between different science labs as needed.
There are a number of additional pieces that can enhance lab safety and organization. Shower and eyewash stations are readily available for use in the unlikely event that they are needed. It is essential to furnish your lab with these pieces in order to ensure that students are properly protected at all times. We also have lab cleanup sinks which provide an extra space for students to wash up and clean experiment tools at the end of class.
Hertz Furniture's selection of functional and safe laboratory furniture includes everything you need to furnish any student science lab. Our lab equipment comes from companies that specialize in school laboratory furniture including Diversified Woodcrafts and Stevens Industries. Planning out the arrangement for a science lab can be quite tricky and complicated. The Hertz Design Center is here to help you determine the optimal configuration for your space. Contact us today for free design and project-planning assistance.

Additional Information About Post-Approval Studies Conducted with Medical Devices Now Available
FDA is taking steps to improve transparency about studies conducted with devices after approval. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has a program that oversees studies that are required as a condition of approving certain applications. The CDRH Post-Approval Studies (PAS) program helps to ensure that well-designed post approval studies are conducted effectively and efficiently and in the least burdensome manner.
CDRH launched a webpage so that the public can keep informed of the progress of each post-approval study. The webpage displays general information about each post-approval study and now more information is available, including information about the study design, population studied, and data collection methods. For completed studies, you can find information about final study results, safety and effectiveness findings, strengths and weaknesses of the study, and recommended labeling changes, if any.
This post will be last one until January 2011. Happy holidays to all of our readers and best wishes for the New Year!
Afia Asamoah, Transparency Initiative Coordinator
I am only writing to let you know what a terrific discovery my wife's girl developed using the blog. She figured out such a lot of things, not to mention what it's like to possess a marvelous giving mood to let the mediocre ones clearly completely grasp a variety of problematic subject areas. You undoubtedly exceeded our desires. Many thanks for producing those productive, trustworthy, explanatory as well as cool guidance on the topic to Janet.
I think this is a good idea creating an approval page for each study and
is a great step towards transparency and making the consumer of medical devices more educated. I hope this page will be used by health care professionals to provide the best care to their patients.
It is a fantastic stage toward visibility and also creating the buyer regarding health-related gadgets a lot more knowledgeable. I am hoping this kind of website will probably be employed by medical care specialists to offer the most effective attention with their individuals.

A 20" skirt is used when the mattress is at its highest setting and the child is newborn. As the child grows and you start to lower the mattress, the 20" skirt becomes too long and the 14" skirt is used. Some choose to purchase both the 20" and 14" skirt, but others decide to purchase only the 14" skirt and deal with a little shortness in the beginning.

A photographer of the extreme, Pascal Tournaire is showing his photographs in the Espace Tairraz centre, in an exhibition that marks the official launch of the Mountaineering Interpretation Centre.
Photographs of mountaineering:
In the right place at the right time, led only by light… Not a conquest, a summit or a cross, but an instant, a vision. In theory, it is good, but reality is often more trivial! Beautiful light always precedes darkness and its constraints. Mountains are beautiful, but their beauty has been seen and shown for ages. I prefer to express the feelings felt by mountaineers: cold, fatigue, fear, and also commitment, friendship, the feeling of freedom. The lines that mountaineers draw or follow on mountainsides are invisible to others...
Partly dancers, partly sculptors, mountaineers express themselves. Theirs is a furtive, ephemeral art. I take pleasure in following them (they often drag me along!). I try to record their goals, their drawings, their destinies. Intense moments, as light as happiness, and sometimes also a little heavy…
Journalist, graphic artist and photographer since 1979, Pascal Tournaire was also artistic director of "Montagne" magazine, then of "Alpinisme & Randonnée" for 18 years. Specialising in photography in extreme conditions, his photographs are regularly published in the French and foreign press. His curiosity has led him to take photographs from the world's highest summits (on the Seven Summit Challenge) to the most arid desert (on an expedition with Théodore Monod in the Libyan desert). The rigour and sensibility of his photographic approach also enable him to bring out the best in the architecture of Jean-Michel Wilmotte and the Mediterranean gardens of the landscape designer Jean Mus.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered these for our engagement party and are really happy with how they turned out. After we ordered, we were sent an email to proof read everything and with a suggestion to change the wording of the date- which I thought was really helpful. The cards arrived on time and look great, we went with a slightly upgraded paper quality (which I would recommend) but everything was just the way we wanted. We're now ordering our save the dates the same way!"
"I was so impressed with my invites when I received them in the mail recently. Buying anything over the net you always run the risk that they won't look very nice or be very good quality when they arrive. But this was not the case with these. They looked exactly the same if not better. The colours are great, printing fantastic and the stationery is exceptional quality. I only went the standard card stock but it was very thick and generous. I went for a scalloped edge which made these invites look even cuter. A perfect match for my engagement party styling. Love them! I ordered them online one week and received them the next. Very fast delivery!"
"This invitation is a wonderful way to capture the spirit of the couple with so many different photos. The finished product is great, and the customer service rep was lovely when I called with a question."
"This card not only gets the message across in a romantic way, but you allow your guest to get to know you a bit better, and understand your personality by the picture you choose. Words are legible and they stand out when all is done. GREAT CARD!"
"This invitation is just as beautiful as I hoped it would be. The process of personalizing it was super easy and it allowed me to make so many changes such as color, font, placement, and so on. I found a coupon code on the web and received free shipping which is always great and they came in just a few days! The invitation looked exactly like it did on the computer. The images were really clear (although the front of the invite is intentionally a little faded). I have no complaints about the way these invites turned out EXCEPT I forgot to order the higher quality paper :( it's just a few dollars more in total and I just forgot to select it as I finalized my order. Wish I had done this just to see what it looked like. If you're considering these, don't hesitate,,"

So You Want to Be a Special Librarian?
11/03/2011 § 20 Comments
When you started library school, did you know exactly what kind of librarian you wanted to be? Or — did you have a general idea, but you were open to other possibilities?
That's where I was when I started at SLIS. I knew without a doubt that I wanted to be a librarian, but I also figured out pretty quickly that the traditional library job market is more competitive than ever before. I began to lean toward academic librarianship, specifically reference work, and as an English major I assumed my subject specialties would be in the humanities.
However, a combination of library school experiences in my second year – a great Special Libraries professor and mentor, student jobs and internships, and an amazing Science Reference class – have convinced me that not only are my reference skills transferable to many other jobs, but that a variety of subjects and nontraditional jobs can hold my interest. I currently have a paid internship in an academic military library, something I didn't even know was possible when I started library school.
If you're not really sure what special libraries are, here is a good starter definition – they are essentially libraries or information centers within corporations, private businesses, government agencies, museums, colleges, hospitals, associations and information management consulting firms (and any other institution you can think of – I have a friend who interned at a paranormal library!).
I can't sum up an entire course worth of information on special librarianship for you, but I did want to let you know that amazing jobs in nontraditional library settings are out there, and give you a broad overview of my favorite resources.
If you are even the tiniest bit interested in a nontraditional library job, you should look into a student membership with the Special Libraries Association, or SLA — students only pay $40 for a year membership. It's still a lot of money, but if you're interested in going to the annual conference (as well as gaining access to all of SLA's resources), it is WELL worth it. If your school has an SLA student group, join it. If it doesn't – start one! Here are some of SLA's resources I have found invaluable:
- My SLA annual and MLW conference experiences. At SLA annual, I met librarians who worked for Target, the Department of Transportation, the European Union — you name it. I truly couldn't believe some of these positions existed.
- SLA First Five Years, which aims to be a resource for new librarians
- SLA Future Ready blog
- SLA Divisions — I'm a member of the Military Libraries Division, but as you can see there are so many to choose from! Many of the division pages contain excellent resources, some of which I have used in my reference courses, and browsing these is a great way to get to know some of the unique positions out there. Also, each of the divisions have a special dynamic and many awesome librarians to network with! In SLA, you are not alone, even if you're a solo librarian.
However, lest you think this post is one big advertisement for SLA, here is the blog for ALA's FAFLRT (Federal and Armed Forces) round table, as well as one of my favorite resources, the Careers in Federal Libraries Google Group.
And finally, human resources!
Since my special library experiences have come in the form of academic science and engineering, medical, and military libraries (and I will happily answer any questions about those experiences!), I asked our very own Nicole Fonsh to speak a little bit about how she came to be a research analyst:
I work in the research library at a private equity firm. There are 7 of us and all of my co-workers have MLIS degrees. For many this was their first job out of grad school while others have some background working in law libraries or academic libraries. We also have a part-time intern from Simmons who works on our catalog and ad-hoc requests as necessary. The library provides "global deal and shared resources staff in each business unit with industry, economic, and demographic research as a means to support informed investment decisions. Services also include database training, subscriptions ordering, and archiving."
We are all called "Research Analysts" and are divided by industry coverage. The industries range from metals & mining to healthcare. The idea is that we are all experts in the resources in our industries that we cover.
I love my job. Honestly. When my internship in the library turned into a full-time opportunity last September I was apprehensive but then crazy excited. Because I realized that what I would essentially be doing everyday was Reference. Which I love. I love finding answers for people and learning new things. This is basically what I do each day. It's cliché, but everyday is different. That is not to say that there aren't times when I want to pull my hair out going "um I don't think that information exists" but I love that it is challenging and new and different each day. And when someone writes back "Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for" there is a sense of accomplishment and joy that you can't put a price on.
And the best part of it all- I didn't even realize this was something I could do with my degree. But it is and I find almost every day that there is some aspect of one of my classes that I get to apply to my research and searching. And that is a great feeling.
So, do you want to be a special librarian? Here is my ultimate tip. After you have done your research about what types of positions interest you, try to find an internship in that kind of position. While it is possible to get a job based on your other library experiences (transferable skills!), having even a little bit of experience in that position will make a world of difference, especially in more difficult to obtain positions. This is where networking can really help you, so don't be afraid to contact special librarians! Being a member of SLA is a huge icebreaker, but there are definitely other ways to get in touch — Twitter, for example.
Do you work in a special library? Please share what you do and how you got there! Do you have any other great resources to add to our list? If you're a student, do you have questions about special libraries, or any of our personal experiences? We're happy to answer whatever we can, and we'll find answers to the questions we don't know!

Great post Lauren!
I'm a medical librarian (just one of many options in special librarianship) and I came to it entirely by accident. I planned and studied to be an academic reference librarian, but when that didn't pan out, I took a part-time job with a former professor (the same amazing one Lauren writes about) at a hospital library. They ended up hiring me as the full time hospital librarian. Special libraries are amazing and the number of opportunities available is absolutely incredible.
If anyone is interested in medical or health sciences librarianship, feel free to email me at lizy1285 (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm always happy to answer any questions about my job, health science librarianship, and how I got to where I am. If you don't want to email me but want to know more, check out my posts on medical librarianship at Closed Stacks: http://www.closedstacks.com/?category_name=by-librarian-rx
Thanks, Elizabeth!
If anyone is interested in medical librarianship, definitely contact Elizabeth. She is a great new librarian, and a wonderful resource to learn the day to day responsibilities of a hospital/solo librarian!
Thanks for this post! I was feeling very discouraged after being rejected by two entry-level library jobs today without so much as an interview, but hearing that there are library jobs even in places like Target is helping pick my spirits up. I'll check out SLA and start thinking about looking for internships.
Definitely do NOT give up, Laurel – if you have any kind of library experience, especially reference experience, you qualify for many special library jobs.
An important note that I neglected to mention – many special librarians do not have the title of "librarian" (like Nicole as research analyst). I cannot remember the Target librarian's job title, but I remember thinking that if I heard it out of context, I never would've guessed she had an MLIS and was a special librarian. SLA has a list of job posts on their website, which will give you a little insight into some of the titles special librarians might have – stuff like researcher, knowledge manager, etc. But these vary from institution to institution, so again, networking is a really great advantage here because you get to learn what job title someone has, and what to look for when you begin your job search. You may even stumble upon job postings that do not list an MLIS as a requirement, but that you have the skills for, and demonstrate to the potential employer the value of having a professional librarian around!
Good luck on your research and finding an internship! If I can assist you in some way, please let me know.
This is definitely something I hadn't thought of. Great post!
Great post, Lauren! Special librarianship isn't usually a highlighted possibly in LIS. I work for an airline, my title – "Technical Library Co ordinator", maintaining, managing and co ordinating a collection of technical documentation for the Engineering and Maintenance department. These "technical library" jobs do not require any LIS qualifications (but I think they do!). There are challenges associated with that, but I do love the industry I work in. Very exciting and ever-changing.
Thanks Lauren for the post. I have been working in a newspaper library for the past 5 years, just started my MLS program this semester. My first few days, I came to learn that a my newspaper library is very similar to a public library reference desk.

Chic Report: With his fall collection, Alber Elbaz has officially cornered the market in wearable, chic, sexy looks befitting most occasions. The color palette was very black and grey, but the pieces were anything but dark. One-shouldered looks were ubiquitous, showing up in a black satin dress, a tiered grey number, and a loose blouse paired with a crisp black skirt--all of which were offset with heavy, chunky jewelry at the neck and wrists. Elbaz made the LBD glorious again, showing a silver-striped dress, a ruffly cocktail frock, and a belted, slightly slouchy wrap-dress. "I thought it was a completely authoritative take on hardened elegance with ironic substance mixed in," said Vogue's Hamish Bowles. "Desirable clothes in every way!"

Why CEOs Should Be Worried About Patents Based on Software
Companies whose businesses rely on patented software or patented business methods are increasingly at risk of chaotic court decisions and a real chance their patents will be declared invalid. The resulting unpredictability is hindering new innovation, threatening well-established patents and discouraging capital investment. Without confidence that intellectual property rights are secure, investors are reluctant to fund companies, undermining the innovation for which the technology industry is known. Here are several ways to protect your company.

Why 9 Years Is a Lucky Number for Board Director Tenure and Effectiveness
Grumbling about corporate boards — about long-tenured directors too cozy with management, for example — may be inevitable among investors, but new research by a young accounting scholar suggests surprisingly that at least one aspect of corporate organization suits Wall Street fine. Company performance actually rises with board tenure—but only up to a point–indicating there's a tradeoff between knowledge and entrenchment.
