The Library has many print and electronic books and resources to help conduct research on a range of career related issues. DELCAT Discovery contains books and other materials and should be a good starting point for background information.  

One effective way to find available career resources in the library's collection is searching by subject headings in DELCAT  Discovery.  The following are examples of appropriate subject headings:
Job Hunting
Career choice
Personality and occupation
Vocational Guidance
Occupations - US
Career Development

If you need information about how to research a specific career, contact the subject librarian for that discipline.
