With your library card, you can also access two online resources: Learning Express Library and Tutor.com. Learning Express Library has a Career Center and Job & Career Accelerator, with powerful tools to get you hired and guidance to help you achieve your career goals. With Tutor.com, you can connect with a career coach, drop off a resume for review and search online job resources. Head to our Research & Learn page for a list of databases; Learning Express Library is in the H-N section, and Tutor.com in the O-Z section. Both are free with your library card.
