Mike McBride, blogger at Out of the Frying Pan and into the Cube gave Career-Op a mention last week.

Check out Mike's site where, in his own words he says, "Wherein I describe my journey from one-man IT Department for a not for profit organization to helpdesk jockey in a medium-sized law firm."

"The second reference was in Douglas Welch's Career Opportunities podcast, this one titled Invest in Yourself. One of the suggestions Douglas made toward the end of this column was to take advantage of libraries as a resource to find tech learning tools. When you don't have the cash to spend on expensive textbooks, or manuals, sometimes borrwing them from the library and getting to work on learning what's in the book is a great, free, way to increase your knowledge. I can attest to that. Many of the skills I've learned over the years have been as a result of materials I picked up at the library. There was a point in my life where I had plenty of time to work with those materials, but no money to buy my own. The local library became an important resource to me." [Link]

Thanks for the link, Mike!
