Professional+Journals

If you are interested in getting established in your career, you should consider joining your professional association. There are professional associations for nearly every discipline, often with national, state and/or regional chapters looking for new members. Keep in mind that many organizations offer reduced membership fees for college students. Links below will lead you to several organization's membership pages that support activity in our college.

 * Professional Journals Available in the ERC **  **updated May 2016**

These are some of the benefits when joining a professional organization:
 * Network with others who share your professional goals and passions
 * Use resources open to members only in order to locate job opportunities
 * Hone your leadership skills by participating in the organization
 * Become a mentor to others who are new to this field
 * Build your professional library by purchasing your organization’s publications at a discount
 * Learn more about your discipline by attending conferences
 * Keep current in your field by reading your journals

Professional journals are scholarly in nature and are focused to address a target audience in such diverse fields as counseling, education, leadership, sign language interpretation and sports medicine. They are usually published by a professional organization or institution and usually offered as a benefit to members. They may contain research articles, reports, and practical articles applicable to the targeted profession.

The ERC subscribes to or receives as gifts over 45 journals from many organizations that have a national presence. We retain the paper copy of these journals for 2 years (current year + 1 back). All may be checked out for you to use in either your classwork or fieldwork or to browse in order to learn about the organization. Many articles in these journals may be found electronically using EBSCO Academic Search Complete (database) found on the University Libraries’ website: __ http://www.libraries.wright.edu/ __ (use the QuickSearch drop down box, select “Databases”, type in “EBSCO”, and select the “A to Z” list to locate Academic Search Complete.)
