In order to effectively market yourself to an employer it is necessary to research the job, the company and the industry. Our career library has information on hundreds of employers and school districts as well as career-oriented magazines. We will be happy to make copies of information you need. In our library, you'll also find a collection of videos which can be useful to you in your job search. The career library is located in our office, Billingsly Student Center 207.
Books may be checked out for 1-2 weeks. Please show your university ID and fill out a checkout form. Failure to return resources on time and in good condition may result in a "hold" being put on your student account. Reference books may NOT be checked out. We will be glad to make a reasonable number of copies for you free of charge.
