One of our newer OhioLINK resources is the Digital Video Collection. Currently there are 100+ movies in the Business and Economics subject area. The movies cover topics such as business ethics, communications, human resources, business plans, and many others. Occasionally one may find a film that discusses a particular industry or company, but in general the films are fairly broad in scope.

The videos in this collection are available for viewing and downloading (for temporary storage only). Free software from RealNetworks is needed to view these videos. The current version of this software, called “RealOne Player,” is available at www.real.com.

Welcome to the Ohio University Libraries Business Blog. A blog, or weblog, is typically a news page that is updated frequently. News items appear in reverse chronological order, so the most up-to-date news is always at the top.

The goal of this blog is to more effectively communicate information about library resources in the area of business. The primary audience for this blog will be students of the College of Business who need assistance with their projects, although others might find useful information here as well.

I will be posting hints and tips for finding business information on this site. Most of the information will be project oriented. For example, if I see a pattern in the types of business questions that I receive, I might post suggestions for those common questions here. This should be particularly useful for the business cluster group projects.

Bear in mind, my goal is not to do the work for the students, but rather point them in the right direction. I will post appropriate databases, books, and websites that might be useful in addressing a particular question or project. Also, by no means should this serve as a substitute for talking to your librarian in person, as I am always willing to meet with students. This is simply an avenue for us to extend my reach beyond the walls of the library.

To use the blog, a reader can read the posts in reverse chronological order. The newest items will appear at the top of the page. Users may also browse for information by using the categories links on the right, or they might also browse by title of the most recent posts. The Business Blog is also searchable with the box on the right, and users can browse by date as well. Also, users will be able to post appropriate comments. Because this is a public page, the library reserves the right to edit or delete comments as deemed necessary.

I hope this will serve as an effective way to help students use the most appropriate resources for their business questions and projects. Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Chad Boeninger.
