New Trial - Blackwell Reference Online: Business and Economics Collection

We are pleased to announce that we currently have a trial to Blackwell Reference Online: Business and Economics Collection. This collection is comprised of the 12 volume Blackwell Encyclopedia of Management along with a number of other reference handbooks in the areas of business, management and economics.

You may recall that we trialled this encyclopedia last year through a different vendor and subsequently didn’t purchase due to the reservations that we had about format and usability. We are pleased to report that this time around, the online format and functionality have greatly improved and are meeting our expectations for a fully searchable online reference encyclopedia. We think that this would be a valuable addition to the collection, especially for extramural students so we are keen to receive your input whilst we consider this package for the collection.

Please endeavour to have a look at this collection of electronic books and check their suitability for your students. Any feedback would be appreciated by Friday 29th June.
