Thank you for the guide to posting. I was beginning to miss how the old system would allow searching through the posts. Will the TLA Jobline eventually have the filters like the ALA Jobline so you can search through the posts by library type, job type, etc? I'm concerned that posts added to this list are getting lost in the shuffle.
Additionally, I wondered if the old position posts will eventually disappear or if it is up to the person posting to remove it.
I appreciate TLA's hard work to keep up with the changing time.
Thank you,
Alex
