Continuing Education @ the Library

For anyone who is thinking of continuing education beyond high school, the Library is the place to begin. Resources are available to help with such steps as investigating careers, picking a school and exploring funding options.
Discover which careers might interest you, research occupations and search for colleges online using CIS. Idaho CIS provides career and educational planning solutions for people in Idaho. Comprehensive sources of career information are available about Idaho and the nation. Information and data are gathered from hundreds of sources. Internet computers are available in the Library to view this source at http://www.cis.idaho.gov.
The Eastern Idaho Funding Information Center (EIFIC), located upstairs in the Library, has information to help you find the funding you will need (such as scholarships) for your education. Search for grants online using Foundation Grants to Individuals Online. Use this database for free only in the Library.
Many colleges now offer courses you can take at home or online. They often require that tests be taken with a proctor, someone the student doesn’t know, frequently a librarian. The Reference Department offers this service for free. Call the Reference Desk (232-1263 ext. 22) for more details.
Kris Castro, Reference Librarian
