Periodicals and Magazines
The following periodicals may be useful in finding out information about a particular vocation, or hunting for a job once you have your degree. Periodicals are shelved on the 2nd floor of the library; they do not circulate. Photocopy machines are available on each floor of the library.
Occupational Outlook Quarterly is published by the U.S. Department of Labor. Every issue offers in-depth coverage of various occupations, and occasional special issues address the U.S. job outlook and project employment trends. It is also available online.
Many magazines and journals publish employment listings, many aimed at particular occupations. These include the following (note: clicking on the title will show you which issues the library owns. You must come to the library to read the actual magazine/journal):
