(09:27:50) Karen Wolf : Is Judy Graves there?
(09:30:56) Karen Wolf : Ms. Graves, you asked for my e-mail address to send me information about internships (SCEP really interesting) at Federal Libraries/Agencies. For example, Dept of Defense; Smithsonian Libraries; NIH; Geological Survey; and more.
(09:33:29) Karen Wolf : I believe there are handouts there regarding some of these internships. Where can I download them from? Can you mail the handouts not downloadable to: Karen Wolf, 144-28 71 Road, Flushing, NY 11367.
(09:35:25) Karen Wolf : You asked for my e-mail address to send me information regarding Federal internships (hopefully SCEP). My personal e-mail address is: kwolf114@aol.com.
(09:35:55) Katy : Ms. Graves, I would also be interested in receiving information about internship opportunities. My question is the same as Karen's - is there a website with this information? 
(09:37:52) Tom Peters from OPAL : Judy Graves can provide a more authoritative answer, but I found this site on the web: http://www.studentjobs.gov/
(09:38:15) Karen Wolf : Katy, this is Karen. You can get general information regarding SCEP at USAjobs; you just need to dig for it. I was really asking for specific job opportunities under the SCEP program at different agencies.
(09:39:56) Karen Wolf : It is really difficult for me to discover where the Federal libraries are within each state. I can't find a single source that lists Federal libraries by state. All I have done so far is to look at individual agency sites. I really could use some kind of a directory of Federal libraries by state.
(09:41:47) Lilith has entered the room.
(09:41:50) Judy Graves : Everyone, we have relayed these general questions to the planners of this event
(09:42:19) Judy Graves : We will also save the text chat so we can make sure that we capture all questions

(10:00:12) Mike C. : Hi-
I have 5-point veteran’s preference and I am graduating soon with my MSLS. Do you have any suggestions for writing a resume that makes it through the Resumix selection process?
(10:01:20) Nicholas Gish at LSU : Is there anything special that applicants need to do when applying for overseas jobs?
(10:01:43) Karen Wolf : Sorry.
(10:01:47) Mike C. : I remember a few years ago, trying to get a resume through Resumix before and I never seemed to get it right. I wasn’t looking for 1410 positions though.
(10:04:42) Karen Wolf : Is there any possibility that the army will try to send a civilian librarian into a military war zone?
(10:05:32) Judy Graves : Karen, Ann is addressing this question now.
(10:05:48) Nicholas Gish at LSU : Does the current base closure program means more, less, or the same amount of military library jobs?
(10:05:49) Judy Graves : They have MWR capability in war zones, not librarians
(10:06:26) Judy Graves : hold on
(10:08:32) Cynthia Prosser has entered the room.
(10:08:47) Karen Wolf : Why am I getting beeps?

(11:38:38) JudyG : no, it means that there are many federal agencies all with different requirements
(11:38:53) JudyG : They will all have different ways to submit applications.
(11:39:05) JudyG : Justin, what was your question?
(11:39:24) Justin Day : Are the classification codes (e.g. 1410) the same for agencies that do not put jobs on the USAJOBS site?
Thanks!
(11:39:52) Karen Wolf : How do I apply if the agency doesn't allow me to apply unless it is online? The paper application might prevent me from being considered
