Career Wisdom for College Students - Information for Librarians at Public Libraries and College Libraries

Librarians:
Offer College (and College-Bound) Students—and Their Parents!—a Career Book They'll Actually Read!

A Message from Career Wisdom Author Peter Vogt...

If you're a librarian—at either a public library or a college library/university library—you might be asking yourself a simple but essential question:

"How will Career Wisdom for College Students actually help our customers/students? What makes it worth tapping our already limited budget for new books?"

In other words: "Why should our library purchase your book?"

Simple.

Career Wisdom Meets the Needs of Two Huge Audiences: College Students (and College-Bound Students) AND Their Parents. According to the 2006-2007 edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education's annual Almanac Issue, more than 14 million undergraduate students are currently enrolled in the nation's colleges and universities. Moreover, the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics reports that there were more than 16 million high school students in 2007; almost half (46 percent) will go on to college, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Then, of course, there are the parents and other family members of these students, who have a vested interest in helping their sons/daughters succeed in their future careers.

Career Wisdom Doesn't Gather Dust on the Shelf or End Up in the Used-Book Sale. Is there anything more frustrating than feeling like you've thrown your library's limited funds away on a book that's never checked out and read? Career Wisdom's brief pieces and jump-in-anywhere-you-want-to format (think Don't Sweat the Small Stuff or Chicken Soup for the Soul) ensure that your customers/students will actually check the book out and read it!

Career Wisdom Fits Nicely into Your Library's General Collection AND Its Career/Employment/Job Search Collection. Since it benefits such a wide range of customers/students, Career Wisdom is a smart addition to not just one of your library's collections, but several of them (e.g., General Collection, Career/Employment/Job Search Collection, Reference Collection).

Hardcover Edition ($34.95)—ISBN 978-0-8160-6837-1
