As of yesterday, 24 September, the new MLA Joblist is, or should be, online
and will be updated every Thursday:
http://www.mla.org/main_jil.htm
Notwithstanding the long preparation, due to sudden "technical
difficulties" with the server the database is not yet accessible, but the
MLA states to be working on the problem. Access is password restricted, and
those employment seekers who are not members of a subscribing institution
are required to pay USD 42 (for foreigners, while it may be less for
residents of the USA). The website quoted above offers a possiblity for
subscribing, but like the database it is currently not operating.
My ceterum censeo: a professional organisation taking fees for membership,
fees for the yearbook, fees for advertising job announcements and -- even
and especially from unemployed colleagues -- fees for accessing these
advertisements, cannot represent the profession to which I wish to belong.
