Valpo Core Library Resources 2008-09: Work & Vocation Unit
All book titles are located in the Christopher Center Reference stacks (2nd
floor) unless noted otherwise; many are multi-volume works. For additional
books be sure to check GALILEO, our
online library catalog, with appropriate keywords or author searches, such
as "vocation" or "Terkel, Studs"
-- or ask a librarian for further assistance.
All of the internet resources have been chosen by the librarians as useful and appropriate supplemental sites.
For author information online, use Biography Resource Center, one of your VU databases. For country information, use Europa World Plus, an online resource VU subscribes to. For off-campus access to these resources, use the appropriate Proxy Server setting.
For assistance with the "Worker
Paper" resources, go to the Class
Help Page online.
Librarians are also happy to help you with finding resources: Just Ask
Us!
