Dear Careers Colleagues,
What are the classic, most influential journal articles in the careers field? What are the journal articles that you return to for insights and cite in the majority of your careers-related research? Which careers articles do you consider "must reads" for doctoral students?
Information Age Publishing (IAP) has decided to publish a book entitled "The Foundations of Career Theory," and your nominations will form the basis for this book. This IAP offering will include a reprint of several "classic" articles, each accompanied by a contemporary analysis of the impact the article has made on the field and its potential for guiding careers research into the future.
Please take a few minutes to e-mail to us your nominations for the classic journal articles in the careers literature (no books or book chapters, please). No, really, we're asking you to take a minute NOW, before you put this request aside and forget what we are asking! It is important that this collection of classic journal articles be useful to you and to your students, so please help to direct this project by sending your nominations.
Please send a complete reference (or you may send more than one) by October 31 to sullivanonsabbatical@gmail.com. We really want your insights, and we appreciate your willingness to provide them.
We will be sitting by our computers waiting for those nominations to roll in! With Sherry Sullivan on sabbatical this semester, we need to keep her busy ("idle hands are the devil's playground"). So please fill up her e-mail box with nominations!
If you would like to us to email you the finalized list, please indicate so in your message, along with your suggested references. Thank you again for your assistance in this project.
