Government Document of the Month: February

Celebrate Black History Month with Government Documents and the February Document of the Month featuring the Tuskegee Airmen.  There is also a LibGuide for additional information located at http://libguides.southalabama.edu/tuskeegee courtesy of Enoch Pratt Free Library.  If possible, see the movie, Redtails, now playing at the local cinema as well.

December Government Document of the Month

The Document of the Month for December helps answer that question all students face:

WHAT ARE YOUR POST-GRADUATION PLANS?

Look to Government Documents for the answer.  The Occupational Outlook Handbook and the Occupational Outlook Quarterly from the U.S. Department of Labor feature many different and sometimes unique careers.   Another good resource is the State magazine from the U.S. Department of State.  The display is located at the beginning of the library’s Federal Document Collection.
