Dialog Reaches Out to Unemployed Librarians
Dialog, a ProQuest company, is coming to the aid of information professionals who have lost their jobs in the economic downturn. The company is waiving standard Dialog startup and service fees, offering free Dialindex service, and throwing in a 10% discount on Dialog usage to librarians and information professionals who have recently been laid off. The aim of the program is to help these professionals use Dialog's resources to do job searches, retain and develop their search skills, and even do some independent consulting while they look for full employment. Free access and discounts can be used for up to 12 months.The new program is modeled after a partnership Dialog has with the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP). AIIP members enjoy the same Dialog access and discount features proposed in the new program for unemployed librarians for as long as they are members. Librarians and information professionals who have become unemployed since September 2008 are eligible. Visit www.dialog.com/careers/program_uip to apply for the new program. Source: Dialog
