If more than one student is doing a particular career, books may have to be reserved. Ask a librarian if you would like to request materials from other libraries. The Encyclopedia of Careers is an excellent source of general information about almost every career. For the most current information, use this year s edition of Occupational Outlook Handbook . For a list of jobs that require licenses or certification, check Licensed, Certified, and Registered Occupations in New Hampshire .
Many articles are full-text and can be printed.
If the library does not subscribe to the magazine needed, the staff can try to get it from the State Library by fax or interlibrary loan. The library s list of magazine subscriptions is available at all computer terminals and is posted by the stand-up computers. Both index a large percentage of the web and will select the most relevant sites for you. Web sites for associations connected to various careers can also be valuable sources of information. Some may have an e-mail address or an 800 number for more information.
