Library and Career Services working closely together

We have been very pleased that during the past couple weeks the Proctor Library and the Office of Career Services have been working out arrangements that will greatly help students gain improved access to information resources related to: identification of potential careers; resume and cover letter writing; interviewing techniques; graduate and law school testing aids; and other information associated with careers beyond Flagler. The Office of Career Services currently has a collection of over 150 print titles providing this important information, and this collection will be growing through the semester. You can browse this collection simply by visiting the Office of Career Services, located in Suite 253B, second floor of the Ringhaver Student Center. Also, visit the Office of Career Services web page http://www.flagler.edu/page2.aspx?id=2033 to learn more about the valuable support that can be provided.

Now if you can not visit Career Services to browse their collection of print titles, you can still locate titles they have there, as well as many other print and electronic books on career related information available through the Proctor Library by checking the Library’s Catalog in the library or remotely. Link is https://research.flagler.edu:2048/login?url=http://voyager.flagler.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First . All the titles within the Office of Career Services collection, as well as all those available through the Library, are listed, together with specific Location information. This will allow you obtain any item of interest either from Career Services or the Library.

Finally, at the beginning of the semester, the Library and Career Services jointly acquired access to a very interesting and information packed career database entitled Vault https://research.flagler.edu:2048/login?url=http://www.vault.com/cb/careerlib/careerlib_main.jsp?parrefer=6143 . We encourage you to look at it using the link provided. You can also find it listed on the Career Services web page and via the Proctor Library web page. If you have any problem using it or have any question, either Career Services or the Library can help you.

We hope these cooperative efforts between the Proctor Library and the Office of Career Services provide great value to you.
