Zicklin students stop by the library during orientation

Here are a few pictures of the newly admitted Zicklin students that stopped by the Newman Library while on the Zicklin orientation tour of the Baruch campus (Saturday, Aug. 19th). What a great group and turnout. I had to stand on the Reference Desk to see everyone. I noticed a few people took some pictures while in the library. I hope you will send them to me via email!

Database recommendations for Corporate Communication students

A student entering Weissman’s MA in Corporate Communication program asked for a list of “top” databases at Newman Library containing articles related to the field. Here is what I recommended:

• Communication & Mass Media Complete (communication database)
• ABI/Inform Global (business and industry database)
• Business Source Premier (business and industry database)
• ComAbstracts (communication database)
• PsycINFO (contains articles about Business Organizations, Organizational Behavior, and Communication and more)

*Please remember that the library has over 200 databases. Your research project may require you to use another database, depending on your research needs. Always ask a librarian for help.
