With the stress on career orientation in the early levels of education, this bibliography will be welcomed by educators as a basic guide to career education materials appropriate for elementary school students. The Career Index is intended for teachers, librarians, guidance counselors, and students from kindergarten through sixth grade. This annotatated listing of 1,066 print and nonprint items includes fictional, bigraphical, and poetic as well as nonfictional works focusing on materials for self-awareness and career awareness. RQThis reference work is designed to help teachers, librarians, guidance counselors, parents, and students identify materials to increase career awareness at the kindergarten through sixth grade level. The annotated bibliography covers primarily recent works, published since 1970, that can offer career information for both children and young adults. In addition to the general or collective works that appear, the compiler, acknowledging the inspirational role biographies can play in career education, has included such works in the bibliography. The only exception is sports biographies, which, due to their sheer number, had to be excluded.The volume is organized by career or vocation, with general eerks listed at the beginning of each chapter. Throughout each category and subcategory, entries are listed alphabetically, with cross-references at the end of each chapter dealing with subject overlaps. Entries consist of the essential bibliographic information for each work, an approximate grade-range recommendation, a brief annotation, and a key to note the inclusion of indexes, photographs, appendices, etc. A group of separate indexes are also included, which classify the information according to author, biographie, and subject area. This unique reference book will be an important source for career education courses, as well as a valuable addition to elementary school libraries and those college libraries associated with teacher training.
