Naomi House

Naomi House, MLIS, is the founder and publisher of the popular webzine and jobs list INALJ.com (I Need a Library Job). Founded in October 2010 with the assistance of her fellow Rutgers classmate Elizabeth Leonard, INALJ’s social media presence has grown to include Facebook, Twitter and a LinkedIn group, in addition to the interviews, articles and jobs found on INALJ.com.

Through grassroots marketing, word of mouth and a real focus on exploring unconventional resources for job leads INALJ grew from a subscription base of 20 friends to a website with over 3 million visits in just over a year. Naomi believes that well-sourced quantity is quality in this narrow job market and INALJ reflects this many new jobs published daily. She has also written for the 2011 and 2012 LexisNexis Government Info Pro. She presents whenever she can, most recently as a Keynote speaker at the Virginia Library Association, University of the Emirates, Dubai, MLIS program and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Naomi was named a 2013 Library Journal Mover & Shaker.

Naomi's most recent position was as a Reference, Marketing and Acquisitions Librarian for a contractor at a federal library outside Washington, DC. She runs her husband’s moving labor website, KhanMoving.com, fixes and sells old houses and assists her husband cooking delicious Pakistani food as well. She has heard of spare time but hasn’t encountered it lately. She pronounces INALJ as eye-na-elle-jay :)
