Firstly, just a reminder that Librarians will not be in from 19th December until the 5th January so make sure you email us NOW with any last minute research help for Christmas assignments. But if you miss us, don't despair! There are plenty of help guides on the library subject guide if you just look for them - http://libguides.mdx.ac.uk/content.php?pid=459779
I am not the only one planning for the end of the year. The Financial Times have started releasing end of year round-up reports and they are fascinating reading. The FT's Year in Finance has a downloadable review of the year as well as links to key stories. Similarly here are the FT's reports on The Connected Business - how IT is affecting Business practice, a review of Japan and The FT's Wealth report. Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the end of year reports.
For those of you who want something new to try over Christmas - check out Lynda.com which has a huge range of video courses for you to choose from to develop some new skills - This link is to their business videos but they have a huge range of resources. Have a lovely holiday and we'll see you all in the new year!

Second to Last Round up of Term!
It's nearly the end of term and we all all tired and staring at approaching deadlines so let's start with blog round up with some videos! Firstly an interview with Ted Sarandos of Netflix on what's next for the company and how they are challenging traditional TV networks. A less 'fun' but very interesting video on the gender pay gap and how women can negotiate a pay rise.
An interesting sounding book review on how workplace friendships and camaraderie can create the best workplace and output. Might be interesting to the students on the MGT3000 module. Are the falling oil prices actually a good thing? What do those of you who specialize in oil think? For finance and accounting students, an article on how more must be done to support regulation and control of the banking sector. And finally Black Friday seems to have taken root in the UK despite our not celebrating Thanksgiving nor a day off to go to the shops. Sales this 'Black Friday' broke records but it this a wholly positive thing given the violence and crowd control issues?
