Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started. Hi, Amy:

I set up a separate Career Resources section in the library. It's near Reference, but has its own signage and colored spine labels. Materials are non-circulating and we cycle out annuals or regularly updated volumes into the circulating collection with the most recent in CR.

I've found this to be effective as a one-stop-shopping area for internships, grad school information, resume-writing, how to be an artist books, etc. I also store catalogs from AICAD colleges and other art schools as well as study abroad materials in the same place; this stuff used to be in Student Affairs, but their hours are far shorter than the library's.

Best,
Moira

"Most people don’t realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn’t value its librarians doesn’t value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?" — Neil Gaiman

Hello All,

I've been thinking over of the placement of our career guidance materials in the reference collection versus the general circulating collection. Currently, we have some items in both locations but I'd like to standardize it. Things like The Photographer's Guide to Marketing and Self-Promotion and Becoming a Graphic Designer: A Guide to Careers in Design, for example.

On the one hand, they are clearly reference-type materials and maybe it will draw more people into the reference collection. On the other hand, no one really uses the reference collection and people might stumble upon it more often in the circulating collection. And obviously, if they use the catalog they can find it in both areas.

Does anyone have a clear winner in this situation?

Thank you in advance,
Amy
