Career Evaluation, a guide to finding resources

A guide to help students discover information about potential careers.

Finding Articles

The basic search box on the library's home page will help you find articles on careers in a particular field.  Type (your career name) and careers to start.  For example:
articles on nursing careers
This will search a collection of useful article databases, including Academic Search Complete, Business Source Elite, Health Source Nursing/Academic, and more.  Some articles will be fairly generally focused, while others will be quite specialized and will be based on research studies conducted with people working in a particular field.  These can provide you with in-depth insight into career satisfaction, working conditions, and so forth.

Other searches to try for more detailed information:

(your career) and career satisfaction
(your career) and wages
(your career) and career path
