The reference collection includes 150 volumes covering undergraduate and graduate schools, private secondary schools, financial aid, scholarships and loans, study abroad, job banks, encyclopedias of careers, executive recruiters, and corporate internships.

We also have a circulating collection of almost 900 books on job hunting, resume writing, cover letters, career changing, test preparation, financial aid, college profiles, and much more.

On our network of public computers the following computer programs are available to help you in your college or career search:

PETERSON'S COLLEGES AND FINANCIAL AID - This source provides information on over 3,000 colleges and helps you choose which ones are right for you based on the criteria you choose.

In addition, you should check out the Library's College and Career Collection, located in the Magazine and Newspaper Room for a large collection of college and financial aid reference books, college catalogs, and financial aid forms.
