Should I read into the fact that the department I'm interviewing at deleted their job listing from all the various job boards?

I already appreciate the fact that this question is a little ridiculous, but humor me, please? :)

I have an interview for an academic job that I really, really want. This is also my first-ever interview. The department deleted the job listing from all the various job boards after they scheduled my interview. Should I read into this at all? Is it a good sign? Or is it just standard procedure?

You're reading into it too much. There's a recruiting period that the university has a deadline for. After picking various candidates to interview from their applications, they would stop advertising. Otherwise they'd just pick you without interviewing. Don't get cocky. Prepare, and you can crush it. It's likely they have interviews scheduled for either before or after yours. It's tough for busy academics to find time to interview candidates, so they usually just set aside a day to go through the lot. Good luck!
