Show Directories: A Major Part Of The Library All libraries contain a variety vari-ety of directories on many subjects that can answer virtually vir-tually any question of fact you have. Knowing which ones can best help you is an important impor-tant part of learning to use your library correctly. Knowing what directories the public library has and how to find them is a necessary nec-essary part of learning how to use a library correctly. While some directories contain con-tain useful knowledge about magazines published and even chronicle the dates certain cer-tain articles were published others contain valuable information in-formation about career opportunities. oppor-tunities. The leading source of information infor-mation about the public relations rela-tions business is O'Dwyer's Directory of Public Relations Firms. The 1986 edition lists over 1,700 firms and the type of accounts for which they work. If you're looking for a position with a firm that handles han-dles sports and entertainment entertain-ment accounts, that information informa-tion will be clearly outlined in the text. No matter what directory you're interested in consulting, consult-ing, it's a good idea to call the reference department of the library first to make sure they have it on the shelf. If you're interested in O'Dwyer's, for example, and find that your library hasn't purchased the 1986 edition, it may be glad to order one for you, or you can phone other libraries to find one that has it. |
