Knowledge is power

So you've checked out the ConsumerEd.gov page. You've searched through Encyclopedia of contemporary American social issues [HN59.2 ONLINE RESOURCE 2011]. What else can you do to make sure your shopping adventures are more fun and less traumatic?

Knowledge is power. If you know how advertisers and businesses place products to catch your eye,  then you can make a less emotional  decision to buy or not to buy. Our Marketing program " is designed to prepare students for employment in a variety of positions in today’s marketing and management fields. The Marketing Management program provides learning opportunities that introduce, develop, and reinforce academic and occupational knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement."

How does that help you right now? We have created 9 Library Guides for Marketing classes. Check out the Intro to marketing for clues to arm yourself to withstand the onslaught of temptations this shopping season.
