Road to the Workplace – Employer Research from the James A. Cannavino Library

New Updates to Road to the Workplace

Last semester, in response to the competitive job market that all students find themselves in upon graduation, the James A. Cannavino Library introduced Road to the Workplace, designed to help Marist students preparing for interviews, internships, and their post-college futures.

Road to the Workplace has just been updated to include points of interest to Marist students, updated RSS feeds and social media links and 22 additional potential employers!

           We hope that you will visit this newly updated resource and share it with your students.

           Road to the Workplace provides collected data on potential employers. Public companies, private companies, non-profit organizations, and government agencies are all represented. Employers have been selected based on their relevance to Marist students seeking employment, and based on some of their relationships with the Marist community. Some of the profiled employers will even be present at the upcoming Spring 2015 Career and Internship Fair.

Road to the Workplace can be accessed at http://library.marist.edu/roadtoworkplace/
A printable flyer is available.

Trial to A Different Video Streaming Service - Films On Demand

The Library has arranged a trial to a new video steaming service, Films On Demand, which is from a different provider than previous trials.  This service comes from the Films Media Group.  We already own a number of their educational VHS tapes and DVDs; some of these were published under the Films for the Humanities & Sciences label.

We are attempting to find the video streaming service that best meets the needs of the majority of the academic departments and their programs before approaching the college for funding.

This trial includes the following collections and is good through March 5:

• Master Academic Collection
• Archival Films & Newsreels Collection
• World Cinema Collection
• Nursing Video Collection
• Career & Technical Education Collection

As always, we really need your input.

Will you please check out the videos in your area and respond to the survey we have put up next to the trial link.  We especially need your thoughts on how these videos compare to those from Alexander Street Press (VAST) - the ones you looked at in the Fall.  We also need to know how they compare to the films we already have access to in our Filmakers Library Online, American History in Video, and Education in Video subscriptions.  If you are using any of the films in these current video databases for your courses, please let us know.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to either your Library Liaison or to Judy Diffenderfer.
