Part of the Project CAREER guidance component, this manual was developed to provide a resource to educators interested in establishing a center to house informative job and career materials for students. Information presented includes functions of the career resource center, minimum physical and personnel requirements, basic information materials, suggested activities, and procedures for acquiring, classifying, storing, and retrieving the materials. All purely occupational materials are classified according to the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles" (DOT) coding system. Sample catalog cards and letters requesting materials are appended. (TA)
