<p>Pennsylvania Chat With a Librarian started a part-time
hourly-paid remote-working position for virtual reference this
year, but currently does not have a full-time position.</p>
<p>Perhaps the Special Libraries Association might have some good
ideas - there may be remote-working positions for virtual
reference/knowledge management in special libraries.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A library staff member who is in the

one career avenue to continue in librarianship.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have any career advice for her? My
impression is that most reference jobs are a combination of VR
and in-person, but I could be wrong. I also know that QP hires
occasionally for backup staff. Any suggestions appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
