Recent academic library appointees were asked to complete a two-part survey. The first part of the study, which focused on the applicantsa€? perceptions of resume content, was published in the November 1997 issue of College & Research Libraries . The results of part two, which queried specific application practices, suggest that large numbers of applicants will continue to waste both their time and that of those who review their applications despite helpful information available to them. Other librarians are reported as the best source for raising applicantsa€? awareness of ways to improve their application practices.
