Thousands of college catalogs are available for information about virtually every college in the United States. Some catalogs are also available in electronic versions. Catalogs are very different and some are very specialized. Be sure to ask about the availability of these resources on colleges and college funding. Government Documents Since government support is so crucial to higher education and because education is supported at all levels of government, there is usually information available in the government documents section of many libraries.
Some libraries maintain collections of video tapes on colleges.
There are also videos available on the subjects of scholarships and financial aid. The Internet is a good place to look for more information about paying for school and about higher education in general. Many universities maintain World Wide Web pages with information about programs and activities. In many cases, you can guess the WWW address of a school just by inserting the name of the school in the middle. One of the most useful sites on the internet is maintained by the U.S. Department of Education.
