Title: MLA Job Information List
Body: From http://www.adfl.org/jil/index.htm The MLA Job Information List is an electronic database that job seekers can search by field or language; by geographic region; by key words or phrases in a job description (e.g., "women's studies," "Romanticism," or "drama"); and by rank. Listings primarily announce full-time academic job openings in postsecondary departments of English and foreign languages. The job openings range in rank from instructor to full professor and include faculty positions, administrative posts, vacancies abroad, and some opportunities for nonacademic employment. About two-thirds are openings at the rank of assistant professor. Access to search the JIL is free to graduate students and faculty members in departments that are members of the Association of Departments of English (ADE) or the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages (ADFL). If your department is a member, it can provide you with the department ID and password to log in at the ADE or ADFL Web site. When you log in, you will be asked to create your own personal login information for searching the JIL at that site. For more information, go to http://www.adfl.org/jil/index.htm .
