Career Services Office Library
The Career Services Resource Library is located in Room 210C within the Career Services Suite. Our office maintains a library of resource materials and directories to assist students in their job searches. As new materials are added, they are included in the "Opening Statement" newsletter.
File cabinets house employer files. On the right wall next to the door are files for law firms (yellow files alphabetized by state) and local government offices and agencies (green files alphabetized by federal, state, country, and city).
Along the windows are files for corporations (red), public interest organizations (orange), legal temporary agencies (gray), and the armed forces (green).
Martindale-Hubbell Directories are located on the bookshelf along with other legal directories such as NALP, the American Bench, Yellow Books, and Directory of Corporate Counsel.
Other books are organized by topic such as job search, interviewing, environmental law, public interest, and intellectual property. Most books can be checked out for a 24-hour period.
