Digital Literacy Skills for Today’s Library Patron
Testimonials
We thought this was an
important service to the
public. Having a population
that works is very important
to this county. We have a lot
of patrons, but some might
not know how to use the
Internet. With JobScout, we
can fill a gap here.
Elizabeth Gray,
Assistant County Librarian,
Yolo County
One of the main
advantages of JobScout is
that it requires very little staff
time because our patrons
can guide themselves
through the process....
JobScout is easy to use,
entertaining and clears up
common misunderstandings
about the Internet... We
want to help people, but our
resources are stretched thin,
so JobScout provides us a
badly needed service.

County Librarian, Imperial

Our Story
JobScout began as a project of the California State Library. Librarians were overwhelmed by the
number of people coming into their branches to look for jobs using the public computers, but did not
know how to use the Internet. JobScout was originally created as a solution to this problem and is now
in over 900 libraries around the US helping get library patrons connected to the 21st century world.

2. COMPASS
Data Analytics
for Libraries
JobScout’s COMPASS data
analytics system allows
library systems to track the
progress and usage of
JobScouters within their
organization. With their own
private dashboard, library
systems can track metrics
such as:
✓ Number of users linked
to your organization
✓ Lessons taken
✓ Badges earned
✓ Number of jobs
searched
✓ Number of resumes
submitted
✓ Number of jobs applied
to
✓ Number of interviews
that have been
scheduled.
This data is collected based
on application log ins, so
customers can track users
whether they are using a
computer directly from the
library or from the JobScout
mobile application.
Beyond data analytics, we
a l s o o ff e r w h i te - l a b e l
products that co-brand with
your library with your own
