You'll find a collection of books on various careers in Reference.

Ask at the Reference Desk for the location of the career books. Cornette Library subscribes to both magazines and journals, and these are shelved in Periodicals on the Library's second floor. You are already familiar with magazines and may even subscribe to a few of these.
Journals are scholarly in nature.
Since our Library primarily serves students and faculty, we subscribe to more journals. One reason you need to distinguish between magazines and journals is that articles in each are cited differently according to most citation style manuals. Also depending on the type of research you do, one may be more appropriate than the other. Since journals are scholarly publications, some of your professors will require you to use only articles from journals.
