OK, this isn't really business or economics related (although, really, isn't everything about bus/econ...?), but it sounds so cool that I wanted to share:

I was researching Sun Rype ("a Canadian juice and fruit snack company based in Kelowna, BC") recently and noticed that my explorations were taking me into a very wide range of our resources.  I thought I'd post about the things I found as a way of highlighting some of our more obscure resources (plus some that I hope you all know!).

When we buy business books here at the SFU Library, we tend to focus on ebooks -- partly as a reflection of the reading habits of many of our readers, and partly so that we can support the three campuses more efficiently.  However, we do still buy books in print format in many cases. I was just scanning the print format business books that have arrived this week.  All three look very relevant to the questions I get lately, so I thought I'd post about them...

I just received a report on our usage of the IBISWorld industry report database over the last few months.  Interesting to see the types of reports that were most downloaded by SFU researchers this spring:

Interesting new research from Statistics Canada on The Evolution of Canadian Wages over the Last Three Decades...

Comments from the researchers:

A quick note about a relatively new journal available for SFU researchers: The South Asian Journal of Business and Management Cases, a title that seems perfectly suited to the international and practical nature of many Beedie School of Business courses and assignments.
