New Books: Sage Handbooks

Barbara — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:48:33 +0000

Auburn University Libraries has recently acquired these Sage handbooks in electronic form. Access them by clicking on the link when you’re on campus and login to access them when you are off.

The Handbook of Marketing Research: Uses, Misuses, and Future Advances

- Rajiv Grover and Marco Vriens [editors]

The Handbook of Marketing Research: Uses, Misuses, and Future Advances comprehensively explores the approaches for delivering market insights for fact-based decision making in a market-oriented firm.

The SAGE handbook of organizational behavior. Vol. 1, Micro approaches

- Julian Barling and Cary L. Cooper [editors]

This Handbook highlights the major topics in the field of micro-organization behavior.

The SAGE handbook of organizational behavior. Vol. 2, Macro approaches

- Stewart R. Clegg and Cary L. Cooper [editors]

Most research in organizational behavior is micro in focus, betraying the deep embeddedness of the discourse in psychology, the study of individuals. Thus, the distinctive feature of micro-organizational behavior is that it is the study of the behavior of individuals and groups in the organization, as seen from a psychological perspective.

The SAGE handbook of power

- Stewart R. Clegg and Mark Haugaard [editors]

The concept of power is absolutely central to any understanding of society… However, despite this ubiquity it is arguably one of the most difficult concepts to make sense of withing the social sciences.

The SAGE Handbook of Cultural Analysis

- Tony Bennett and John Frow [editors]

With the ‘cultural turn’, the concept of culture has assumed enormous importance in our understanding of the interrelations between social, political, and economic structures, patterns of everyday interaction, and systems of meaning-making. In The SAGE Handbook of Cultural Analysis, the leading figures in their fields explore the implications of this paradigm shift. Part I looks at the major disciplines of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences, asking how they have been reshaped by the cultural turn and how they have elaborated distinctive new objects of knowledge. Parts II and III examine the questions arising from a practice of analysis in which the researcher is drawn reflexively into the object of study and in which methodological frameworks are rarely given in advance.

SpicyNodes: Evaluating Sources

Want to see a visual map of Evaluating Sources, go to the Comm 1000 Libguide’s Evaluating Sources tab. Be sure to click on the full screen for the full view.

If you want to learn how to create these interactive maps, go to SpicyNodes and investigate (or, as they would say “get tasting”).

Search.USA.gov

Barbara — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 21:24:03 +0000

This is the U.S. government’s official search engine. Since Google UncleSam has disappeared use this as it searches 50 million pages from federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal websites. Click on the image or go to the website Search.USA.gov or try out the Advanced Search option.

GPO Access Changing to FDsys

Barbara — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:47:54 +0000

The Government Printing Office’s search interface is being changed and updated. Go to FDsys (Federal Digital System) to search for government publications or to browse collections.

Google UncleSam Gone

Barbara — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 20:40:47 +0000

In case you missed the non-announcement Google has stopped supporting the Google UncleSam (or U.S. Government Search). I’ve created a custom search that limits to .gov, .mil and .state sites which will mimic in part the Google UncleSam search.

Try it out:
http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=006444040023968439261:ynbxyjszbmq

There is a search box called U.S. and State Government Search in several of my LibGuides. Try it out by going to the Comm 1000 Libguide — the search box is in the first column. Contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Popular Mechanics — Google Books

Barbara — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:00:10 +0000

Another expansive serial run on Google Books is Popular Mechanics which covers Vol. 7, No. 1 (Jan. 1905) to Vol. 182, No. 12 (Dec. 2005). Again, you cannot print or save, but you can search and create links to get back to your finds.

Life Magazine — Google Books

Barbara — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 20:32:01 +0000

It’s like a match made in heaven, find all issues of the Time, Inc., Henry Luce owned Life Magazine beginning with Vol. 1 No. 1 Nov. 23, 1936, through Vol. 72 No. 25, Dec. 29, 1972 on Google Books.

Like many full text Google titles, you cannot print or save, but you can search and create links to get back to your finds.

FYI: American RadioWorks

Barbara — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:27:12 +0000

Hearing is Seeing^®

AMERICAN RADIOWORKS^® (ARW) is the national documentary unit of American Public Media* and produces hour-long documentaries distributed by American Public Media to public radio stations across the country. They also produce public radio news magazines like All Things Considered and Morning Edition . Many of the documentaries are “living history” by including accounts of those who lived it. All include background, original photography, interactive elements and streaming audio.

From the most current, War on Poverty: From the Great Society to the Great Recession (June 2010) to A Better Life: Creating the American Dream (May 2009) to Hearing America: A Century of Music on the Radio (December 2006), ARW covers history, politics and popular culture.
