I can't believe that after being on this board for 4+ years, this is the first time I'm going to write, and it has nothing to do with code.
I can't understand why this would be an issue in a profession (librarian) that is very tiny compared to most. I also can't understand why it would be a problem when 50% of college graduates can't get any job let alone one in their field. The US and World economies stink, and more jobs have been lost than ever before in the history of the world. There are still 100's of millions of people without any job and a few job postings are an issue??
Perhaps a step back to the reality of what's really important in life...

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
Honestly, I'm surprised this hasn't come up sooner :-) In the interests of "science" I've created a little poll to indicate whether you think the job postings should be sent to the code4lib mailing list or not:
http://bit.ly/code4lib-jobs-emails
If you care either way just click yes or no and I'll report the results. But if you can't wait I made the spreadsheet public:

PS. Just fyi, shortimer will *not* re-post jobs to the discussion list if the posting was discovered there. Typically the job postings that shortimer posts to code4lib have been pulled from a source other than the mailing list, which met some curatorial criteria as being relevant for the code4lib community. If you care about influencing this criteria I encourage you to help curate [1] the jobs.
