LinkedIn can be a good source of leads. Send an email to your network asking for candidates. Companies are laying off good people, and someone in your network may know an entry-level person just let go.

Find influential bloggers in the particular niche you are hiring. Many will place or broadcast job listings or resume requests for little or no fee.

If you have an extended Twitter / Facebook / LinkedIn Network, post your need there. The people responding will either be part of your network or one degree removed from it. The volume of responses will be much lower and likely of higher quality.

Here is the 3rd vote for College Career Centers, especially for entry level positions. With CCC's, you have a unique ability to :
1. Filter by major or specialty
2. Find easy, generally free access to applicants looking for full time, part time AND internship opportunities
3. Support your Alma Mater

If the position is truly entry level, contact the Career Services Office of local colleges and universities. These folks know their students and can pre screen for you.
Read the book "Recruit or Die." My organization had a very successful year recruiting young talent and I attribute much of our success to that book.
I agree that networking is a great idea, but it's not only colleagues that can help in your search for qualified candidates. Chances are that people in your social circle have connections to recent college grads looking for work. You just need to get the word out about what you're looking.

College career centers. Posting a job at a college career center may also produce a lot of resume but you can choose the best school(s) in your area to look for talent. This won''t cost anything
