As graduation season approaches, the thoughts of many Library and Information Studies students turn to the job search.  Librarians at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro helped prepare a cohort of students for this process through a series of mock phone and in-person job interviews. Agnes K. Bradshaw, LaTesha Velez, and Gerald Holmes discuss the program in their article “ Mock interviews for ACE Scholars ,” which appeared in the April 2013 issue of C&RL News .  "Mock Interviews for ACE Scholars: Preparing for the Professional Job Search." C&RL News 74:no. 6, (April 2013): 192-194.
