THE PSYCHOLOGY UNDERGRADUATE
ADVISING RESOURCE
LIBRARY
This Resource Library was supported in part by the generosity of the Hunter College Psychology Department, and in part by a
Presidential Teaching Initiative Award from Hunter College President David Caputo to Dr. Bonnie R. Seegmiller.
The existence of the Psychology Resource Library has been greatly facilitated by
Carrie Mannas, the Hunter College Reserve Librarian, and I thank her here for her enormous help.
Gina Cambre most recently up-dated this list of holdings; I thank her for her superb work.
 
 
Dr. Seegmiller and her Advising Assistants have set up a Library Resource Center for Psychology Advising.  Many extremely useful books as well as other information about applying to graduate school, careers, and the fields of psychology are on reserve in the Hunter College Wexsler Library (2nd floor).  The call numbers for these materials may be found below, as well as on the Reserve Desk Computer under "Course=PSYCH ADV 000" and "Instructor=PSYCH ADV."
 
 
The Resource Library contains three different types of materials:
