Summer is over, even though it doesn't feel like it as I write this.\u00a0 (33 degrees- relative humidity 44\u00a0).\u00a0It's been a great\u00a0summer but we are looking forward to the\u00a0Fall term. \u00a0Welcome to all new business students and welcome back to all returning students.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you what's new or changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Library Workstation Access<\/strong>\u00a0 AcadLabs is gone and has been replaced by FAS (File Access Service).\u00a0 You will need to activate your FAS account in order to use the library workstations.\u00a0 Go to http:\/\/mms.yorku.ca<\/a> to do this.\u00a0 We have changed the resolution on our workstations so documents in\u00a0MS Office will display better and you can\u00a0view multiple screens more easily.<\/p>\n

Group Study Rooms <\/strong>The walls in the group study rooms have been painted.\u00a0 We got a third projector for use in the group study rooms.\u00a0 We are now booking Bloomberg online via the group study room booking page.<\/p>\n

New Databases Added\u00a0<\/strong> We have added Sustainalytics<\/strong> (aka Jantzi Social Index) a terrific resource if you are looking for corporate governance information.\u00a0 This databases rates Canadian and US companies on their environmental, social and governance performance.\u00a0 About 1500 companies are included in the database.\u00a0 Issues included are aboriginal relations, community involvement, corporate governance, employee relations, environment and human rights.<\/p>\n

The second database is SimplyMap<\/strong>.\u00a0 Marketing students and some 601 project teams, will find this database of particular interest.\u00a0 This is a web-based mapping database that lets users easily create professional looking thematic maps using\u00a0 Canadian demographic (Statistics Canada), business and economic (Environics) data.<\/p>\n

Some of the interfaces for existing websites have changed dramatically, e.g. Mergent, so don't hesitate to ask our experienced librarians for help in using them.<\/p>\n

And last but not least is the York University Libraries homepage\u00a0<\/a> has been redesigned and our VuFind search engine is improved.\u00a0 The relevancy ranking is much better now so you can input titles of books, periodicals and\/or databases in the basic search box and retrieve the relevant item.\u00a0 We have also introduced an advanced search function which allows you more scope in searching for items in our print and electronic collections.<\/p>\n

Drop by our offices or reference and circulation desks to get help or just to say hello.\u00a0 We practice an open door policy so feel free to come into any open office.\u00a0 We are always happy to meet our students in person.\u00a0 However, if you want to get help online you can use our IM chat service, available either from our Bronfman Business Library homepage <\/a>or click here if you use an IM client<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have any suggestions about article topics\u00a0you would like to\u00a0read\u00a0on this blog please email me\u00a0 watson@yorku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
