Freshers week & Information sources!

I hope you all are enjoying the start of term. I know I have seen lots of you this week - I've been to 8 inductions this week and I will hopefully meet the rest of you soon.

Once again I am going to highlight some useful resources. Firstly another reminder to sign up to  FT.com. There's information on registering here and also my blog post on how to install the app on your smartphone or tablet

Bloomberg provides a free newsletter the Bloomberg London Brief!  It is an excellent way to keep  yourself informed about what's going on in the city and financial world.
Please use this link below to subscribe:
(And if you want a bit more Bloomberg, why not do Bloomberg Certification here at Middlesex? The course is free and supported by Sarah, our Economics Librarian. One MDX student did so well on the course they got a job offer!)

And here is a list of interesting twitter accounts to follow to keep up to date and find interesting ideas.
