 Dear U.S. Public Librarian,



Whether an individual is looking to change careers at an advanced age,
concerned about an unstable current job situation, or just out of school
and trying to find a place to start -- libraries play a valuable role in
helping people find employment.



After discussions with a number of our customers, we have learned that
public libraries are receiving more requests than ever for career
information. This is not surprising given the current economy.



In light of this, EBSCO has decided to offer Career Library to any
interested U.S. public library -- at no cost for the rest of 2009. As of
2010, any U.S. public library can renew at 50% of the normal annual
subscription price.



This offer is not available to schools, but we are allowing existing
public library customers to take advantage. That means that any existing
U.S. public library customer of Career Library will receive a credit that
can be used toward the purchase of previously unavailable products, and
upon renewal, their price for Career Library will be cut in half.



Career Library contains detailed information on more than 2,500
occupations, including interest and skills assessments, connecting
results to the appropriate career cluster and/or occupation list. The
surveys and assessments are based on the 16 federal career clusters (in
English and Spanish). The system also includes state-specific resources,
a resume builder, and an Occupation Video Library (in English and
Spanish).



If you'd like Career Library to be available in your library, please send
us an email at: information at ebscohost.com, and we'll move quickly to set
up this free access.





Regards,



Sam Brooks
