Dictionary of Occupational Titles - Biological Orientation - Maness

Dr. Maness's Biological Orientation classes are using the Dictionary of Occupational Titles to look up professions. We have the last edition published (4th edition, 1991) on Ready Reference, call # 331.7 D 561 1991 v.1-2

However, the Department of Labor website states: " The DOT was created by the Employment and Training Administration, and was last updated in 1991. It is included on the Office of Administrative Law Judges web site because it is a standard reference in several types of cases adjudicated by the Office of Administrative Law Judges, especially labor-related immigration cases.
The DOT, however, has been replaced by the O*NET. For information on O*Net, go to:

http://online.onetcenter.org/ and search "occupations"

I will get the library catalog updated with the new information about O*NET.
