Abstract
ONLINE CAREER CENTER Career Resources for the Virtual World for Canadian Users by Career Communications, Inc. 2013. Harleysville, PA: Virtual Career Library Website: http://virtualcareerlibrary.com/index.html, Subscription: 5 months/$495, 12 months/$950.As a Canadian Career Development Practitioner, I was eager to review The Virtual Career Library's (VCL) site from a Canadian perspective: was this is a site which could be of practical use to those of us north of the 49th parallel? The VCL's intended audience is composed of education, government and library institutions, and the U.S. military to assist clients in career exploration and transition. As an online library, VCL delivers over 6,000 pages of digital career information, over 50 digital books and directories and over 600 on-demand videocasts-and it is constantly growing. All this information has been collected and categorized in the following sections:* Career Video Newsroom* Digital Career Books & Directories* Over 500 Career Exploration Videos* Career Advice Video Clips* Talking Librarian Avatar Guide* Virtual Career Classroom* Over 800 Virtual Job Data Cards* Over 200 Federal, State & City Job Banks* Hiring News Videos* College & Career School FinderFor a library targeted to widely diversified demographics, VCL does an admirable job of offering content in a manner appealing to a broad audience; they capture and maintain interest through a variety of media including bite-sized video clips, digital text books, and data cards reminiscent of recipe cards in a notebook. As well as keeping the content fresh, this diversity will also appeal to a spectrum of learning styles.Often, career information sites focus primarily on compilations of facts, figures, and labor market data, and less on the practical tools of what to do with that information. VCL, however, provides not only career and training information, but also offers both classic and trending job search tools such as Etiquette Image and Dress, Interviewing and Networking, and Resume and Cover Letters - the latter two accompanied by clear examples - all within the Virtual Career Classroom. Does the VCL site offer concise and timely information? Yes, it does, with an enviable elegance and an admirable robustness. What's more, I found it easy to navigate, which is critical for clients with little to no computer or Internet experience, a demographic who can often feel left behind in the predominantly online job search world.Will it assist Canadian Career Development Practitioners in their jobs? Again, yes. Whether clients are young or mature, are in career transition, or whether they are students mapping a path to their chosen professions, many of the career planning and job search strategies we promote to our clients are offered here in one neat package: job search tools, information interviews, career information, labor market data, sources for training and education, and online job banks. …

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
