I have been subscribed to a couple of German-language libraryland mailing lists since the beginning of the year. There’s all sorts of interesting things on them, including job listings.

Today, however, was something really shiny. A 4-day tour of Denmark, visiting various libraries. €400, all up, including hotel accommodation, breakfasts and transport. If I want my own room, it’s an extra €125. The trip itself is from the 31st of August to the 4th of September, but if I want to go I need to book by the 30th of June.

My problem is that if I haven’t found work by the 31st of August, I won’t really be able to afford the trip. If I haven’t found work, however, this trip would be an excellent opportunity for some networking.

A colleague recommended that I listen to tweets from an unconference happening in Aarhus, next week, to see whether Danish libraries are doing things interesting enough to make me want to part with my money.
