Though I'm certainly not the first to blog about this new site, it was recently forwarded to me through the Kent State Univ. listserv. There's been quite a lot of buzz about it, and rightfully so! Opencoverletters.com is a site that shows cover letters written by those seeking jobs in the library and archives fields. Not only are they specific to our industry, but they have all led to interviews.
I strongly suggest that those who have written interview-getting cover letters submit their own. All personal information is redacted to protect privacy and to avoid awkward work situations. Plus, think of the karma points when your job search begins and you find yourself needing a little guidance! :)

Here is one that is focused on classroom learning and information literacy:
The possibilities are endless ! It would be great to see some creative outreach in the Glogster format- Archives Month would be a great example.
