The Library of Congress Subject Division for careers in general will be HF for Commerce. Specific careers will be under the subject division for that topic. For example, medical careers will be under the subject division R for Medicine. Legal careers will be under KF for Law. When searching the library catalog, you may want to type in the specific career AND vocational guidance (using the advanced search, if using the library catalog link off of the library website). That should narrow down a topic to that of vocations.
Books that have call numbers should be print books that are in the Arkansas State University-Beebe Libraries. Most will be at Abington Library and will be circulating books on the second floor, or reference books on the first floor (reference books will have REF in front of the call number). Electronic books will have no call number and can be viewed or downloaded.
