Higher Education Resources
The Education Shelf in the Reference Department contains the most up-to date information on choosing a college, selecting a career, or getting the money to do so. Books in the Reference collection cannot be taken home, but in most cases as we receive new editions we transfer last year's edition to the circulating collection. Most books on colleges have a call number of 378 - 378.7.
