to discuss marketing your degree. Since LIS majors have all sorts of backgrounds and career paths, it's impossible to cover this topic in a single podcast so this is merely an introduction to the concept. She does provide some good ideas to get you thinking but realize that she, and the entire CDC office, are available to help you with your career plans. (Remember those fees you pay? Here's a way to take advantage of the services they provide.)If you do nothing else, visit their website and go through the A-Z Index. You might be surprised at all of the services and resources you have at your disposal.

That is what I want to feel that I am "in control of my career". I will review the Career Services website and make time to contact them.
What positions do graduate students hold since obtaining their LIS degree?

I agree that one of the best ways to find out information about jobs and careers are through networking. Half of the battle is to get oneself to be marketable, then to get into contact with the people who are already in many of those positions that are of interest to us. That can be a journey of its own just as our educational journey here at UIS. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to learn more from Gale about the UIS Career Development Center and what they have to offer us students.
