by Anna Graf Williams and Karen J. Hall; Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1997

Building Your Career Portfolio
by Carol A. Poore; Career Press, 2001
Modeled on an investment portfolio and takes the approach that each of us must consider having more than one source of income, just as a broad-based financial portfolio would. She uses a financial portfolio analogy to describe one’s portfolio of skills and make the case for diversifying. Her focus is on defining a personal purpose which is supported by one’s collection of skills and time investment. Does not discuss the form or format of “career portfolio” as commonly understood.

“The American Association for Higher Education (http://www.aahe.org/ )
maintains a Portfolio Clearinghouse ( http://www.aahe.org/teaching/portfolio_db.htm ),
a searchable collection of information on portfolio usage in higher education. The information in the database includes basic details such as the name of the institution, the contact person, and the URL for the portfolio's Web site. Additional information includes the scope of the portfolio project, the reasons for initiating the portfolios, the format (paper or digital), a summary of general results, and reflections on the institution's experience with the portfolio project. There are currently 51 institutions listed in the database.”
