Welcome to Middlesex!

I hope you all are enjoying the start of term. I know I have seen lots of you this week - I've been to lots of inductions this week and I will hopefully meet the rest of you soon. But here are some top tips to get you off to a flying start,


Firstly, check out your library subject guide! You can find the link from the 'My Study' tab in My Unihub and here is the link for the Business, Management & Marketing one - http://libguides.mdx.ac.uk/business
This highlights the best business resources and will help you find the best books, articles and journals.

Secondly, don't forget to go to your Module pages in My Learning and check out your online reading lists and download your free personal etextbook - Kortext are still in the Quad today so go see them for all the help you need. They are also here next week.  

I am also 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.

(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!)

Don;t for get to Check out MIntel, COBRA and SCOPUS our new databases.
