Comment:
Many thanks to the wonderful Library staff during our capstone. We had a lot of specific research to do very quickly, and the reference librarians were invaluable to our success. Erica was especially helpful at the beginning (by the way - for future marketing students - geographical industry info. is available on the U.S. Census website - except for Mass.! I contacted them about it apparently Mass. is not part of some program), and Josh and Dan took a lot of time to help later on - we couldn't have done it without you!

Thanks, and have a great summer!

We have this play in several collections, including Plays. English. Selections. The Lulu plays. and Plays. English. Selections. The Lulu plays; The Marquis of Keith

It can be tricky to find plays in the library catalog, especially translations, so please ask a reference librarian if you can't locate what you need.

Found... in the library

Although we would never encourage or condone willful destruction of library property, we are amused by some of the creative adaptations appearing on the backs of our table tents:

New Database: The Snapshot Series

Looking for market research? The Snapshot Series includes over 8,890 market reports across 43 industries in 40 countries, spanning the UK, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Latin America. It's a unique source for market research data, offering worldwide market data for a broad range of industries and regions.

Reports include market size, market segmentation, market share, market forecast, socioeconomic data, and company websites for main players. Here are a few examples:

Snapshots Italy Luggage & Leather Goods 2007
Snapshots China Mobile Phone Services 2008
Snapshots US Facial Moisturisers 2008

Browse reports by location, industry or document title or search across all reports.

And yes, The Snapshot Series is different from the similarly-named Snapshots, a library-use-only database which provides market profiles and demographics for Nielsen Designated Market Areas (DMAs), Arbitron Metro Survey Areas (MSAs), and US states.
